    Legal Issues in E Commerce

    Impact of technology on IPR 
    There is always a great concern regarding the originality of the product, plagiarism in 
    terms of content & duplication of other literary works. Thus lot of scope for improvement 
    of IPR exists even today. However, so far copyrights, trademarks & patents have been 
    extended to technological improvements through internet. So a trader, if registered could 
    claim possession of any emblem, designs, codes & software & other literary works. In 
    case of a conflict then the superior law between two countries taking into account the 
    larger good of the society will preside over.
    WIPO internet treaties 
    Though there were rules and regulations that were framed on the lines of protecting IPR 
    there was always a difference in interpretation of laws among different countries. With 
    the internet becoming ubiquitous it was necessary to address all the tech savvy issues so 
    that the customer benefits with such technological advancements. Thus nearly 100 
    countries took part in the conference & made an agreement. Therein international laws 
    were framed that would take care of any infringement to local, regional & national laws.
    So in case of any conflict, the international law will automatically supersede and the final 
    decision should be agreed by the countries concerned.

    Contracts in E-Commerce 
    For a contract to be valid there has to be an offer, acceptance and valid consideration. In 
    an ecommerce business most of the
    contracts are online, where the user of the website 
    ‘clicks to accept’ the terms and conditions/ subscription / pricing and the like.
    One of the premise of the Information Technology Act (IT Act) was to provide legal 
    recognition to electronic records and digital signatures, which in turn facilitates conclusion 
    of contracts and creation of legal rights and obligations through electronic communication.
