Court of Justice 13 June 2013, C‑170/12 (Peter Pinckney v KDG Mediatech AG.)

Also known as

The Advocate General's opinion addresses the preliminary ruling request from the Cour de cassation regarding the jurisdictional criteria under Article 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 in a copyright infringement case involving Mr. Pinckney and KDG Mediatech AG. The opinion concludes that the questions referred are inadmissible due to a lack of relevance to the main proceedings, as the legal characterization of the alleged infringement does not establish a sufficient connection to the jurisdiction of the French courts. Additionally, the opinion emphasizes the need for a clear connection between the alleged infringement and the territory of the Member State where the action is brought, particularly in cases involving online content.AI
