Navigating the EU digital market – a look into the trends in copyright and e-commerce
Overview
Directive 2019/790 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market (CDSM Directive) is intended to modernize certain aspects of the legal framework for copyright and neighbouring rights, in particular, to account for rapid technological developments that are continually transforming how protected works are created, produced, distributed, and used and the emergence of new business models and actors.
Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 on promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services at the European Union level is established to ensure a fair, predictable, sustainable, and trusted online platform business environment within the internal market for the purposes of prevention of the potentially unfair and harmful commercial practices of certain providers of those online platform services, and the lack of effective redress mechanisms.
The Legal 500 has partnered with Gugushev & Partners Law Office to provide an in-depth analysis and overview of Directive 2019/790. Partner Yoanna Ivanova and associate Tsvetelina Paskova will be speaking with Stefan Kyosev – Director of Business Development who will moderate the discussion. This webinar will be a must-see event for anyone working on copyright and related IP rights in the Digital Single Market.
