Intellectual property law #6: E-reputation and the right to be forgotten

In this latest edition of Face au droit de la propriété intellectuelle, Décideurs TV’s Laura-Jane Gautier interviews Mathieu Coulaud, Legal Delegate of Syntec Numérique, and Jean-Sébastien Mariez, Lawyer at De Gaulle, Fleurance & Associés.

Following a resounding CJEU ruling on the right to be forgotten on May 13, 2014 (Google Inc. and Google Spain v.AEPD and Mr. Costeja Gonzalez), our experts take another look at the definition of e-reputation.

They explain which actions can be punished on the web for damaging an e-reputation, how to put a stop to litigious actions and how to constitute sufficient proof. They also explain how to deal with the platform and host.

Finally, they explain how to request de-indexation and the rules governing the right to be forgotten.
