Territorial scope of orders against illegal content online

Abstract

Claims against online activities raise special challenges with regard to the spatial scope of remedies. The topic is of particular importance in relation to the cross-border protection of intellectual property (IP) rights and personality rights. Furthermore, the rules on international jurisdiction play a significant role in this regard and significant implications arise regarding recognition and enforcement of judgments. Professor Dr. Haimo Schack, to whom the following paper is dedicated, has made extraordinary and lasting contributions to all those sectors.
