Intellectual Property Law #1: Cloud Computing

Face au Droit is back, but with a few new features: intellectual property is at the heart of the debates for this first issue. Agathe PECASTAING welcomes Mathieu COULAUD, legal delegate at Syntec Numérique, and François – Pierre LANI, lawyer at Derriennic & Associés. Together, they attempt to understand the legal issues surrounding cloud computing.

Are “sensitive” data subject to special regulations? The Cloud deserves everyone’s trust, but not at any price. Our experts present the risks and their recommendations.
