As part of our Munich IP Group, I specialise in advising national and international clients on all aspects of trademark, unfair competition, design and copyright law, focusing on contentious matters and litigation.

The question of how platform operators can be held liable for their users’ IP right infringements remains a hot topic in the world of IP. There is no uniform answer for all IP rights besides the general distinction between direct/primary liability for own infringements and indirect/secondary liability for some sort of contribution to a third-party infringement.
