CIPPIC Granted Leave to Intervene before FCA in Parody Case
CIPPIC has been granted leave to intervene before the Federal Court of Appeal in Cooperstock v United, an important consumer criticism case testing the boundaries of defences to copyright and trade-mark infringement. CIPPIC's intervention is partner to a parallel intervention by the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. CIPPIC will focus on the trade-mark issues, while CCLA will address copyright issues. Both interventions will explore the ways in which freedom of expression limits the reach of intellectual property rights
