However, law firms are also advised.
In the area of licensing law, and in particular in the area of rights of use for software, new conflict potential has arisen in the course of increasing digitalization. For example, the question arises as to whether or to what extent license models must be adapted to the automation of business processes (keyword indirect use). This can affect SAP or Oracle programs, for example. Another example is compulsory licensing of patents or intellectual property protected by copyright (FRAND). Furthermore, in the course of the expansion of online content, the danger arises that (actually or supposedly) protected content on websites infringes rights holders. Our law firm supports and represents you in all these disputes. In the context of cease-and-desist proceedings, in court proceedings seeking injunctive relief and damages (if necessary, before arbitration courts). Or in out-of-court dispute resolution or (re-)negotiations or contract adjustments.
