Intermediary liability for counterfeit goods in ecommerce marketplaces in SEA

The secondary liability of ISPs/internet intermediaries in Southeast Asian (“SEA”) countries are not consistently established across one of the world’s biggest ecommerce market regions. This stems largely from the issue being framed within national legal contexts, which are inadequate for platforms operating regionally and globally. Add to that within the SEA region there are different legal systems (civil/common law), with different approaches.
