In two separate but subject matter-related lawsuits initiated on behalf of two high-profile clients, the firm obtained favourable decisions of the court imposing interim injunctions on the defendants.
In widely publicized proceedings involving a TV station with a state frequency, the firm filed two separate claims against the station and its shareholder for creating and later broadcasting a “deepfake” which unlawfully processed the clients’ personal data.
The High Court in Belgrade, facing with a novel issue and a need to set a precedent on abuse of personal information, accepted the firm’s arguments and imposed interim measures against the defendants prohibiting: further broadcasting of the materials, reproduction of the broadcast, broadcasting it as part of a report, commentary, as an announcement, or in any other way making it available again in a TV program or on social networks or on any other means or platform that is publicly available to a large audience.
The final judgment in the cases will be issued following the completion of the trial.
