France: Miror/Nancy, Court of Cassation of France, First Civil Law Chamber, 14-27990 / 15-12321, 17 March 2016

The French Supreme Court confirmed that a writ of summons for infringement of intellectual property rights must determine and specify the elements for which protection is sought, as well as the allegedly infringing acts. A writ of summons, such as that in the case at hand, which does not sufficiently describe or identify the work that was allegedly infringed must therefore be annulled.
