Liability of ISPs for Trademark Infringement

The European Court has indicated that internet service providers (ISPs) will lose the benefit of the exemption from liability for intermediaries under the E-Commerce Directive if they take an active role in relation to offers of trade-mark-infringing goods placed on their sites (such as assisting in matters of presentation or promotion) which allows them to have knowledge or control of the data that they are storing. Injunctions against ISPs, in such circumstances, could be aimed at the prevention of future infringements as well as the cessation of ongoing infringement.

Can’t thank Harriet and Hannah from the Family Law department enough for their help and support while navigating a difficult year. Their professionalism was second to none - I would recommend Winton Solicitors to any and all seeking legal advice.

We can highly recommend the services provided. Our solicitor was extremely thorough and professional and we were always assured that matters were being dealt with in timely manner. Winston Solicitors conveyancing services were recommended to us and we were very satisfied. If we need any further legal assistance in the future we will not hesitate to use them again.

I do not think that the service we received could be improved. We were treated like friends rather than clients - December 2025
