Regulating Industrial Internet Through IPR, Data Protection and Competition Law is the result of a larger project titled Future Regulation of Industrial Internet (FRII), a collaborative academic-industry study funded by Business Finland (former Tekes) the Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation, and the industrial consortium between 2016 and 2019. The digitization of industrial processes has suddenly taken a great leap forward, with burgeoning applications in manufacturing, transportation and numerous other areas. Many stakeholders, however, are uncertain about the opportunities and risks associated with it and its effect on businesses and national economies. Clarity of legal rules is now a pressing necessity. This book, the first to deal with legal questions related to Industrial Internet, follows a multidisciplinary approach that is instructed by law concerning intellectual property, data protection, competition, contracts and licensing, focusing on business, technology and policy-driven issues. It aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Industrial Internet regulation.
