Download: Media and Tech Law
Providing insight, guidance and debate on key developments in the media and technology sectors, and the legal implications for businesses.
Apps
Apps are not new, but the way businesses are monitising them is evolving rapidly, and developing models (including in-app purchase models) bring legal and brand challenges. We look at this, and also take a look at some common themes around financial services regulation which are increasingly relevant to many app models. We also explore common issues to consider when developing apps along with recent development in privacy specific to apps and mobile platforms.
