Regulating internet content through notice-and-takedown. This project is designed to create a set of principles to help governments, firms and civil society organisations to address harmful online content in more sophisticated ways. Such groups are increasingly seeking to influence the intermediaries that provide internet services to take more responsibility for content on their networks.

This project is designed to create a set of principles to help governments, firms and civil society organisations to address harmful online content in more sophisticated ways. Such groups are increasingly seeking to influence the intermediaries that provide internet services to take more responsibility for content on their networks. Globally, these intermediaries receive millions of requests to remove content posted by users each month. This project seeks to understand how Australian and international intermediaries respond to takedown requests in three areas: copyright, defamation, and hate speech. It aims to create new knowledge about how intermediaries can be influenced to regulate internet content, and how due process and freedom of speech can be protected.Read moreRead less
Process matters: the new global law of intellectual property enforcement. Intellectual property (IP) enforcement can make websites disappear, cause businesses or individuals to lose internet access, plant and equipment, stop imports or freeze technological innovation. The impact of IP on businesses and individuals depends critically on how we frame remedies and enforcement processes. These legal processes are increasingly dictated by treaty. This project aims to produce a first-of-its-kind legal ....Process matters: the new global law of intellectual property enforcement. Intellectual property (IP) enforcement can make websites disappear, cause businesses or individuals to lose internet access, plant and equipment, stop imports or freeze technological innovation. The impact of IP on businesses and individuals depends critically on how we frame remedies and enforcement processes. These legal processes are increasingly dictated by treaty. This project aims to produce a first-of-its-kind legal analysis and conceptual synthesis of recent international and domestic developments in enforcement of patent, trade mark, copyright and other similar rights. The project intends to bring analytical rigour to highly polarised academic and policy discussions around the growth of international and domestic rules about IP enforcement.Read moreRead less
