IT contract law

Jobke-Westhöfer

Until now, familiarisation with the legal problems of IT contract law has been tied to the very extensive standard works and the wealth of current essay literature. This book "EDV-Vertragsrecht" now offers a compact yet comprehensive overview of the legal principles and their application to software transfer agreements. A brief introduction to the basic technical terms is followed by a detailed categorisation of the various constellations of software transfer under copyright and contract law. The author has paid particular attention to both software-specific contractual clauses and liability for defects. The work offers a quick introduction to the problems of software contract law. It is equally suitable for students and practitioners. Further references to current case law and specialised literature enable the reader to delve deeper into the subject matter.
