On the 12 September 2019, in the judgment of the case C-299/17, the E.U. Court of Justice ruled that a national law (in this case: German) prohibiting search engines (Google news) from using snippets - short clippings or summaries of print texts - without the permission of the publisher it is not applicable in the absence of prior notification to the Commission, clarifying that it is a rule relating to a service of the information society and, therefore, of a “technical regulation”.
