DSM DIRECTIVE

12 February 2026

📚Laura Godfrin and Jean-Sébastien Mariez have authored a guest post for The IPKat on two Paris Court of Appeal decisions concerning platforms’ obligations under Article 15 of the DSM Directive.

🔍 The article highlights:

📊 The framework for injunctions requiring platforms to provide data related to press publishers’ related right
💡 The Court’s approach to “use” of user-generated press content by platforms
❌ The rejection of exemptions claimed by the platform
📝 The absence of implied licenses through platform terms of use

🙏 Many thanks to The IPKat for hosting this contribution!
