The International Dimension of Google Activities: Private International Law and the Need of Legal Certainty
Aurelio Lopez Tarruella · Information technology and law series/Information technology & law series · 2012
This chapter aims to explain the difficulties that exist when applying the rules of jurisdiction and conflict of laws to disputes related to infringements of intellectual property committed on the Internet. For this purpose, we analyse six judgements of French courts involving Google. As will be seen, the European Court of Justice is expected to play a very important role in providing a uniform interpretation of these rules. Thanks to this, the legal certainty that Internet service providers need to carry out their activities in Europe will be increased. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
