Featuring: Siddharth Varshney

A ‘Legal Issues Seminar-General IP’ (LIS-GIP) was conducted by Siddharth Varshney, Associate, on “Whether Section 65A of the Copyright Act, 1957 provides an exception for Fair Dealing?”. The seminar delved into the need of anti-circumvention provisions in India’s growing digital landscape. Specifically, the seminar looked into the provisions relating to infringement and “fair dealing” of copyrighted works, while also examining the applicability of anti-circumvention provisions. The session concluded with some interesting questions and discussion among the team, including whether the use of VPN software to access copyrighted works will attract anti-circumvention provisions.
