• Resumen

  • Provisions of the Finnish Copyright Act (404/1961) on injunctions for the online environment have been reformulated and new provisions on preventive injunctions were introduced.

Moreover, the new provisions are aimed at governing situations where the alleged infringer remains unknown or is situated abroad. The amending Act entered into force on 1 June 2015
