Internet Intermediaries and Trade Mark Rights

At present, neither UK trade mark law nor English common law principles provide a basis to hold internet intermediaries liable for trade mark infringements. This book considers reforms aimed at gaps in the existing legal framework. This book also examines alternative remedies, such as notice and takedown and injunctions.
