Software, AI and digital platforms

Registration, legal protection, and business continuity of software

In Italy and across the European Union, software is protected as a copyrighted work. However, formal registration is essential to establish clear evidence of authorship and creation date.We register software with the Public Register of Computer Programs at SIAE, enabling licensing, transfer, and robust legal enforcement.

We advise companies, startups, and technology transfer offices (TTOs) on managing ownership over software, graphical interfaces, APIs, and databases.

Without formal registration, legal enforcement against copying or misuse may be significantly hindered.

We also provide full support with software escrow agreements, critical tools for ensuring business continuity in the event of crises, insolvency, or extraordinary circumstances. Software escrow plays a strategic role in extraordinary transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, and venture investments, where the legal strength of technological assets is a decisive factor in due diligence procedures.

Legal protection of technology platforms

Every web platform or application requires accurate legal documentation to protect rights, prevent liability, and foster commercial growth.We draft project documentation, terms of use, privacy and cookie policies, marketplace regulations, and cooperation or development agreements.

Operating a digital platform without appropriate legal safeguards exposes the business to litigation, GDPR sanctions, and reputational risks.

We ensure up-to-date regulatory compliance, with particular attention to GDPR, cybersecurity, intellectual property, and European regulations on digital platforms.

Litigation in software, AI, and platform-related disputes

The digital sector is highly litigious due to the technical complexity and economic value of the assets involved.We manage litigation with strategic precision, handling disputes over software rights infringement, code counterfeiting, digital plagiarism, contractual breaches, and unauthorized platform replication.

When software is copied or a platform is unlawfully cloned, the resulting damage can be both immediate and substantial. A rapid and well-structured legal response is essential.

We defend both right holders and parties involved in disputes, offering an independent and technically informed approach.

Innovation is essential. Defending innovation is strategic.
