| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of the dissertation is to analyse the model of civil liability of Internet intermediaries for infringements of intellectual property rights in Lithuania, namely the grounds, conditions, and scope of civil liability. The concept of direct liability of Internet intermediaries is analysed by exploring the notions of the use of intellectual property objects by Internet intermediaries. The possibility of applying indirect liability to Internet intermediaries is also evaluated in the context of Lithuanian tort law. The study covers four areas of intellectual property law: infringements of copyright and related rights, infringements of rights granted by designs, trademarks, and patents, and also provides an examination of the special regulatory framework governing intermediary liability. |
