Undervisning

Jag undervisar i internationell privat- och processrätt, immaterialrätt, avtalsrätt och amerikansk rätt. Jag handleder uppsatser och doktorander.

Forskning

Min forskning är inriktad på gränssnittet mellan internationell privaträtt och immaterialrätt och andra besläktade områden. I avhandlingen ”Territoriality in Intellectual Property Law” (2016) undersöktes och jämfördes tolkningen och tillämpningen av territorialitetsprincipen vid privaträttsliga gränsöverskridande immaterialrättsintrångstvister i EU:s respektive USA:s rättssystem. Jag arbetar nu på ett projekt om internationell privaträttsliga aspekter på gränsöverskridande tvister om företagshemligheter. Projektet finansieras av Stiftelsen för Rättsvetenskaplig Forskning.

  • Territoriality in Intellectual Property Law

    2016. Lydia Lundstedt, Marianne Levin, Marcus Norrgård.

    Avhandling (Dok)

    The principle of territoriality is a truism in intellectual property (IP) law. A premise underlying the principle is the right of each state to determine the extent to which IP rights exist and are protected within its own territory to fulfil its own economic, social and cultural policy goals. This is done by giving a right to prevent others from doing within the protected territory any of the acts that are exclusively reserved to the right holder under the IP statute that granted or protects the IP right. The principle of territoriality informs that IP rights granted or protected by a state are independent from those granted or protected by other states, and that the rights conferred under each state’s IP law are limited to the territory of that state. As the principle of territoriality neatly allocated jurisdiction among states on a territorial basis, it purportedly obviated the need for private international law. Each state exercised jurisdiction over the infringement of its own rights and applied its own domestic IP law, which served the interests of the states and of the parties.

    With the increase in the protection and exploitation of IP rights across national borders, infringements do not remain within hermetically sealed national territories. Acts taken in one state can have effects in other states and impair the policies that the rights were designed to fulfil. This raises questions concerning the territorial scope of application of the domestic IP law, that is, whether it is interpreted with respect to a domestic tangible act, effects on a domestic policy goal or both. In addition, the transborder exploitation of IP rights raises questions of private international law with respect to whether states exercise jurisdiction and apply national law to disputes concerning infringements of their domestic rights or whether states exercise jurisdiction and apply national law to disputes arising from acts committed in their territories (or both). These determinations may depend on different factors such as the different interests taken into consideration (e.g. state or party interests), the different legal traditions upon which the legal systems are based and the characteristics and functions of the IP rights themselves.

    This dissertation compares the interpretation and operation of the principle of territoriality of IP law in the private law resolution of transborder IP infringement disputes in the legal systems of the European Union and the United States, two distinctly different legal systems that have significant trade and investment relations with each other. The comparison shows that while the systems are functionally similar, the principle of territoriality is interpreted and operates somewhat differently in the two legal systems.

  • Jurisdiction and the principle of territoriality in intellectual property law

    2001. Lydia Lundstedt. IIC-International Review of Industrial Property and Copyright Law 32 (2), 124-141

    Artikel

    In a recent decision, the Swedish Supreme Court has denied jurisdiction in respect of a claim for declaration of non-infringement of a Swedish patent against a Norwegian company. The article examines the decision in the light of the Brussels and Lugano Conventions, taking into account previous case law of the European Court of Justice. It arrives at the conclusion that there is no clearly fixed solution for the problems at hand, but that the relevant articles of the Conventions should be interpreted differently depending on the nature of the case.

  • Title   Putting Right Holders in the Centre: Bolagsupplysningen and Ilsjan   (C-194/16): What Does It Mean for International Jurisdiction over Transborder   Intellectual Property Infringement Disputes?

    2018. Lydia Lundstedt. IIC-International Review of Industrial Property and Copyright Law, 1-26

    Artikel

    This paper analyses what the decision in Bolagsupplysningen and Ilsjan (C-194/16) means for international jurisdiction under EU Regulation No 1215/2012 with respect to transborder intellectual property infringement disputes. In this case, the Court of Justice of the European Union extended “the centre of interests” basis of jurisdiction under Art. 7(2) of EU Regulation No 1215/2012 to legal persons claiming infringements of personality rights on the internet. The Court also held that actions for rectification and removal of content infringing personality rights may not be brought before the courts of a Member State where the content is accessible. This article concludes that the centre of interests basis of jurisdiction is generally not applicable to right holders claiming infringements of intellectual property rights and/or complementary tort claims, except arguably for claims for the infringement of moral rights and unfair competition claims where the act exclusively affects the interests of a specific competitor. Many questions remain with respect to the localisation of a victim’s centre of interests. In addition, the article concludes that the judgment in Bolagsupplysningen does not affect a right holder’s ability to obtain an injunction in the Member State in which content accessible on the internet infringes a forum IP right to put an end to the infringement in that State. Still, the centre of interests basis of jurisdiction has the potential to give right holders an advantage for claims of online infringements of moral rights and acts of unfair competition that exclusively affect them and it can be expected that authors and traders will take advantage of this opportunity when considering their IP litigation strategies.
