- resolved-remedy-limited
- Resultado
- Claim succeeded to a limited monetary extent; the exact amount is not stated in the accessible scholarly reconstruction.
- Resumen
- Infringement was accepted, but compensation was reduced in light of the character, method and short duration of use, disproportionality of the amount claimed, reasonableness and fairness, and the absence of serious consequences.
- Antecedentes
- A media outlet used a photographic work in an online/news context. The defendant admitted infringement but argued the use was illustrative and news-related.
- Historia procesal
- The photographer sought statutory compensation before the Supreme Court's IP collegium, which at the time exercised exclusive first-instance jurisdiction over copyright disputes. The accessible official link is now unavailable cross-border; the case number and disposition were verified through a 2024 scholarly analysis citing that official page.
- Cuestión jurídica
- How should the remedy be set when unauthorized media use of a protected photograph is admitted but is short, illustrative and causes no serious demonstrated consequences?
- Criterio
- Infringement was accepted, but compensation was reduced in light of the character, method and short duration of use, disproportionality of the amount claimed, reasonableness and fairness, and the absence of serious consequences.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Protectability and infringement remain analytically separate from remedy. Contextual news use does not erase copyright, but duration, manner, proportionality and proven consequences bear on compensation.
