Yesterday evening, Dr Christian Triebe and Dr Sebastian Heim accepted the ‘Europe Impact Case of the Year’ award on behalf of our IP team at the Managing IP Awards in London.
The ECJ ruling on software copyright, which was secured by GvW partners Dr Christian Triebe and Dr Walter Scheuerl in Hamburg, strengthens legal certainty and promotes innovation and interoperability, which are crucial for technological progress in increasingly complex software ecosystems – not only in the gaming industry, but across the entire software sector. The judgment underlines the importance of copyright protection as a key driver of innovation in the software industry.
