IP rights violation RTI – Break Media

On 27 April 2016, the Tribunal of Rome published its judgement on the case between RTI and Break Media, condemning the latter to pay 115.000 Euro as compensation for IP rights violation. In particular, Break Media has been considered responsible for the unauthorized presence on its website of 48 videos of RTI popular programs.
Lear has assisted RTI throughout the proceedings, playing a key role in the evaluation of the damages resulting from the copyright violations examined. This consisted in the estimation of the hypothetical royalty that Break Media should have paid to display RTI’s videos on its website.
