This course introduces students to a broad set of legal rules governing the daily operations of a digital business. It also encourages development of competences necessary to effectively deal with legal matters when developing digital business activities that cross national borders. The course prepares students to deal with the legal challenges and opportunities the digital economy created for companies, individuals and countries.

Connection to Research and Practice

The course is essentially focused on digital intellectual property law and practice, data protection policy, principles of online contract formation, and questions of consumer protection.

The course aims to provide students with a solid foundation on how the law can affect digital business and on how to expand a physical business into the digital realm following all the relevant legal rules.
