M&S lawyers have advised clients on several precedential matters of the computer and Internet technologies laws. We have also provided legal opinions on several IT projects, where the applied Internet technologies directly affected the legal situation of the implementing company and its contractors, including consumers.
By way of examples, we can list the following matters relating to the computer and IT law in which our lawyers provided advice:
- participation in a large CRM (Client Relations Management) implementation project destined for one of the leading telecom companies, introduced jointly by a consortium of consulting firms, law firms and companies from the computer technology industry;
- day-to-day advice for companies running their own call centre;
- advice pertaining to the registration of Internet domains and the liability for so-called “deep links” to content on other webpages;
- legal analysis of an activity consisting of the collection of sales data of pharmaceutical products via specialized computer software;
- the tax issues related to income derived from software license agreements, where the license is used exclusively for the buyer’s own needs;
- the legal issues involved in offering “telephone rings” on computer networks.
