As a general rule, intellectual property (IP) rights are territorial in nature. Subject to some possible exceptions, acts committed abroad do not violate domestic IP laws. In recent years, however, global commerce has brought to the forefront the question of whether the territoriality principle altogether precludes domestic courts from awarding damages for extraterritorial losses.
Professor Cotter will explore this issue based on decisions from the US, the UK, Canada, Japan, and Germany and review the evolving law, as well as some yet-to-be-resolved questions, concerning awards of extraterritorial damages for patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret infringement. He will conclude with some thoughts on the related issue of whether courts should award global FRAND royalties in disputes involving SEPs.
