The Courts had already granted orders requiring ISPs to block sites for infringement of copyright in relation to pirated content. This decision is a logical extension of that principle to trade marks<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But the good news is that an intervention by the <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-96 shortlink-chref\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"open rights group\" data-chref=\"https:\/\/www.openrightsgroup.org\">Open Rights Group<\/a> has managed to extract a number of key concessions, which will limit the scope of future requests. For example, the court will have to be mindful of how these orders can impact on third parties. Any website can carry the logo for one company or another, often as part of a news article or product description, and thus overzealous enforcement would risk creating problems.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Mr Justice Arnold\u2019s Decision:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>* Accepted ORG\u2019s submission that the orders should be required to have safeguards against abuse, and that this was a requirement which had been missed by the other parties (para. 191);<\/em><br \/>\n<em> * Adopted ORG\u2019s concrete proposals about the information to be included on landing pages and \u201csunset clauses\u201d as safeguards against abuse (paras. 262 to 265); and<\/em><br \/>\n<em> * Thanked ORG for its \u201cbrief, moderate and helpful\u201d written submissions, which were \u201csensibly\u201d not opposed by the other parties (para. 7).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently Richemont already has tens of thousands of other domains in its sights for future blocking orders.
