PAST PROJECTS:
Future Regulation of Industrial Internet (FRII)
The FRII project focused on different legal and economic questions of the future Industrial Internet applications. The project aimed at shedding light over the key legal questions at the center of the Industrial Internet development in order to propose useful business solutions with which to navigate the challenges while boosting business opportunities.
The central legal areas of the project were Intellectual property rights (IPR), data protection and competition law. Overall, the results stemming from this project were of relevance for several stakeholders, spanning from companies operating in the field, the legal practitioners, the legislator and the policymakers, as well as to the academic community. Those stakeholders were actively participating in the workshops of the FRII project as well as other events. In the workshops the participants discussed and shareed their views on the future of Industrial Internet in an inspiring environment. The project not only produced high-quality scientific results but also formed a networking and discussion forum for different parties.
