Santiago Mediano successfully represents Mediapro before SC in IPR case

Santiago Mediano Abogados has successfully represented Mediapro before the Supreme Court, securing a ruling of IPR Infrigement agains Roja Directa providing links to live matches

-

The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of Mediapro by considering that the administrator of Roja Directa infringed the Intellectual Property rights of the audiovisual production company and LaLiga by providing links to live matches.

The court has responded to the appeal filed by Mediapro against a ruling by the Provincial Court of A Coruña, which considered that the administrator had not committed any contributory infringement by providing the links to the matches. Now, the Supreme Court has corrected that decision and has ruled that the figure of “contributory infringement” allows liability to be extended “not only to whoever directly carries out the infringing acts”, but also to whoever “cooperates with this conduct” and to “whoever has a direct economic interest in the result of the infringement and the capacity to control it.”

The court calculated that the sole administrator of the company, would have obtained between one and two million euros from the operation of Roja Directa and ordered him to cease the infringing conduct.

Mediapro was represented by Santiago Mediano, with partner Raúl Bercovitz Álvarez, a Commercial lawyer specialising in Industrial and Intellectual Property Law.
