Please join us on Thursday, 29 August 2024 at 5pm AEST for a discussion on indirect liability for IP infringement.

This seminar will consider:

• the current state of Australian law on copyright infringement by authorisation, with a focus on the High Court decision in the Real Estate Tool Box v Campaigntrack case; and
• the way the Full Court dealt with liability and remedies for trade mark infringement in the most recent Hells Angels v Redbubble case, as compared to earlier cases involving the Redbubble online marketplace.

Our speakers are Emma Bathurst, Luke Hawthorne and Joel Barrett.
