Technology & Innovation

Technological developments, such as big data, 3D printing, apps and the Internet of Things always raise legal questions in the areas of intellectual property, IT law and privacy. Innovation in the field of Life Sciences and Telecom, for example, leads to (biotech) patents, breeders' rights and their exploitation in various forms.
