Poland: metatags in Polish case-law
The Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita reports a recent judgment of the Polish Community Trade Mark Court (in Polish: Sąd Wspólnotowych Znaków Towarowych i Wzorów Przemysłowych) in Warsaw, case act signature XXII GWzt 8/09. The case was brough before the court by the French company Marin's International and concerned the use of CTMs Marin's and Lama by the Polish company Display Flash Poland sp. z o.o. from Warsaw within its website in noscript tag. The Court ruled that the use of someone else's trade mark in website's metatags infringes trade mark rights of such a person and it may be also deemed as an unfair competition delict.

I've never heart of a "nonscript [meta] tag". Does the judgement explain in detail which kind of meta tag that should be? ... and was the Marsin's International able to demonstrate that Display gained any benefit from using the TM in the text of the "nonscript" tag? But okay, after all I am "just" jurist and not a SEO so please forgive me my ignorance ;)
