KG Legal was invited to IPLSRPING – a conference organised by American Bar Association. The IPLSPRING was held from 4 to 6 April, 2017 in Arlington. Some interesting issues were discussed during the conference, for instance preparing a patent for litigation before it’s issued or effective use of border enforcement mechanisms and blocking injunctions in the US, Canada, and the EU.
KG Legal is the member of the ABA, in the Intellectual Property Law section.

Pay-per-view in Polish and European law
Polish law do not fully take into consideration the pay-per-view services yet. There is no such term as “pay-per-view” in the Polish law. We should consider “pay-per-view” services as a programme within the meaning of the Broadcasting Law: shall mean a set of moving images with or without sound (audiovisual programme) or a set of sounds (radio programme) constituting, in terms of its content, form, purpose or authorship, an separate item within a programme service developed by the media service provider or a catalogue of programmes made available to the public as part of on-demand audiovisual media service, hereinafter the “catalogue”. This is the result of the implementation of the Directive 2010/13/UE, where the “programme” is defined as: a set of moving images with or without sound constituting an individual item within a schedule or a catalogue established by a media service provider and the form and content of which are comparable to the form and content of television broadcasting. Examples of programmes include feature-length films, sports events, situation comedies, documentaries, children’s programmes and original drama;
