THE ROLE OF PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW IN PREVENTING INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OVER THE INTERNET

You have the legal right to protect the creations of your intellect, such as inventions, artistic and literary works, designs and symbols, and names and images used in commerce. The rights you have over these creations are intellectual property rights, which are protected by law through patents, copyright, and trademarks, for example. These protections allow you as a creator and an inventor to be recognized and financially benefit from your creations.1 The topic “Intellectual Property Rights Infringement on the Internet: An Analysis of the Private International Law Implications” has become increasingly important as the Internet has revolutionized the traditional understanding of the rules of private international law which govern the determination of jurisdiction in the case of intellectual property rights infringement over the Internet. The private international law of intellectual property has until recently been both straightforward and based on traditions, geographical boundaries and physical space2. With the advent of the Internet, some new problems in the field of intellectual property law have appeared. The infringement of intellectual property rights (IP infringement) over the Internet is one of them. The purpose of this study is to try to find the solution to the problem of IP infringement over the Internet in the field of private international law, focusing on jurisdiction rules.3
