New Wave of Cease-and-Desist Letters Regarding the Alleged Public Distribution of Copyrighted Images
September 25 at 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m.
On September 25, 2026, attorney Michael Ullrich, LL.M., will give a presentation on the following topic as part of the NRW Lawyers' Meeting at the University of Wuppertal:
"New Wave of Cease-and-Desist Letters Regarding the Alleged Public Distribution of Copyrighted Images"
The presentation focuses on recent copyright cease-and-desist letters regarding the use of copyrighted visual material. Michael Ullrich explains the legal and practical issues involved in dealing with claims of alleged unauthorized use of photographs and other visual material.
This issue affects not only companies, agencies, website operators, and other organizations. Universities and public institutions may also face copyright cease-and-desist letters and the resulting claims for injunctive relief and payment if they use copyrighted images on websites, social media channels, or other digital platforms.
The event is aimed in particular at legal counsel and department heads in the higher education sector. The NRW Legal Professionals’ Meeting serves as a forum for the professional exchange of experiences regarding current legal developments and their specific implications for universities.
