INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LAW
This is a rapidly expanding subject in Canadian law. Generally speaking, it relates to all manner
of legal implications associated with information technology (computers, PDAs, blackberries,
IPODs, inter alia). Its major subtopics include computer crime, e-commerce, circuit board
and database design and protection, domain names, software licensing, etc. There are also
a number of privacy and intellectual property issues at play in this topic (primarily copyright
and trade-mark). The intellectual property matters are essentially federal in scope, while most
other issues fall under provincial jurisdiction. There is an ever growing body of jurisprudence
in this area, as well. Related topics: COMMERCIAL LAW, COPYRIGHT LAW, CRIMINAL
LAW, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW, PRIVACY LAW & ACCESS TO INFORMATION,
TRADE-MARKS.
TECHNOLOGIES DE L’INFORMATION (DROIT DES)
Il ne s’agit évidemment pas d’une réalité juridique, mais l’importance actuelle et croissante du
plus vaste « réseau de réseaux » justifie qu’on en fasse mention. Trois aspects complémentai-
res méritent une mention : (i) l’introduction générale à Internet et les moyens techniques de
s’y brancher ; (ii) les problèmes juridiques posés par Internet et qui recoupent les domaines
du droit : CRIMINEL (DROIT) ; PROPRIÉTÉ INTELLECTUELLE ; ACCÈS À L’INFORMATION ;
COMMUNICATIONS (DROIT DES) ; (iii) la recherche d’informations juridiques au moyen de
Internet, un volet complémentaire à une démarche de RECHERCHE DOCUMENTAIRE.
