Good software is a crucial component for a smooth operation of any company.

During this breakfast briefing we will provide you answers to questions you would never think of asking. Vojtěch Chloupek of Bird & Bird together with Tomas Markus of ING Bank will provide you  with practical and useful insight concerning  "all you need to know when buying and implementing software, licensing issues "  such as

Copyright law to software

  • Who really is an owner of the rights to software?

  • Many SW developers as well as companies do not realise that continental legal system might be very different from the Anglo-American one in practice. If a company places an order for a tailored software there is a legal difference if it is developed by its employee, a freelancer or an external party.

Licensing

  • Purchase, development and implementation: Are you using it right?

  • Practical questions concerning licensing agreements on SW, its implementation and subsequent maintenance.

Open source – advantages and potential risks

  • Advantages and risks related to this type of licensing.

  • Open source software as a type of licensing is being used more and more often. While there are many advantages from the practical point of view, there are a lot of risks which we would like to bring to your attention in the final part of the briefing.

Small refreshment will be provided during the event.
