Data

Data as a driving force behind innovation

For modern companies, data is a strategic asset. Think of customer data, production information, sensor data, or health data. This information provides valuable insights that lead to better decision-making, smarter products, and more efficient processes. At the same time, collecting, sharing, and using data comes with legal responsibilities.

The increasing digitization reinforced by European regulations, requires organizations to be aware of the legal aspects of data use.

What do the new EU rules mean for your organization?

The EU Digital Decade brings legislation concerning digital security, interoperability, and data protection. Think of the Data Act, AI Act, and Digital Governance Act. These rules impose requirements on:

• The collection, processing, and sharing of data;
• Transparency in algorithmic use;
• The protection of personal data and confidential business information.

Non-compliance can lead to fines, claims, and reputational damage. At the same time, these rules present opportunities for organizations that operate data-driven in healthcare, industry, mobility, agriculture, or tech.

How do you protect your data and know-how?

Data is not automatically protected. Sometimes database rights provide a solution; in other cases, protection through trade secrets or contractual agreements is necessary. We support in:

• Securing intellectual property and know-how;
• Drafting NDAs and collaboration agreements;
• Developing data governance structures within your organization.

Through our IP360 scan: Discover, optimize, leverage, we map where your valuable data is located and how to protect it legally.

Sharing data without risk

Would you like to share data with partners, customers, or public institutions? Then it is crucial to make clear agreements about:
