The Federal Magistrates Court is hearing an increasing number of cases dealing with copyright. This seminar will look at some of those cases and the process for running a case in the court. The government also announced on 5 April 2007 – responding to a report by the Advisory Council on Intellectual Property (ACIP) – that it will further expand the court's jurisdiction to cover trade mark and design matters (but not patent matters at this time).

The Copyright Tribunal's new jurisdiction (Sydney, from 2007-05-24 17:00 to 2007-05-24 19:00) — by admin

In December 2006, the jurisdiction of the Copyright Tribunal was expanded in a number of important ways.

The new parody/satire defence (Sydney, from 2007-04-12 18:00 to 2007-04-12 19:00) — by admin

The December 2006 amendments to the Copyright Act introduced a new defence to copyright infringement: fair dealing for parody or satire. Defences relating to parody can be found in other jurisdictions, including the US and member countries of the European Union. The defence for satire may be unprecedented. The litigation between Channel Nine and Channel Ten over the use of excerpts from Nine’s programs in Ten’s program ‘The Panel’ involved parody and satire but was over before the defence was introduced. Would it have made a difference? Richard Cobden SC will address this and other aspects of the new defence.
