Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland allowed the cassation appeal filed by J. P. against the Lower Administrative Court's judgment. J. P. argued that S. F. infringed their copyright by using a foreign work without permission, while S. F. contended the use was justified under fair dealing exceptions. The court ruled in favor of J. P., establishing that the specific circumstances of the use did not meet the statutory requirements for an exception to copyright protection.
Legislator headnote
