The owner retains the exclusive right to sell, hire or offer copies for hire, regardless of prior foreign circulation; consequently, commercial rental in India of copies authorised only for another territory without licence constitutes infringement. Importing such copies for commercial rental also amounts to importing infringing copies, as the private and domestic-use exception does not apply. Enforcement of these exclusive rights does not violate Article 19(1)(g), because licences may be negotiated. Final injunction relief requires proof of ownership of all claimed works, while interim protection may continue pending that determination. en-us Mon, 13 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 11:52:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293830 Copyright in cinematograph films is not subject to international exhaustion under the Copyright Act.
