Oracle v Google -- Three key Decisions about the issue whether API's are copyrightable: These decisions are being discussed in today's release of Christian's "Lex Laux" in www.inside-channels.ch.

In his article for cmm360 magazine, Christian Laux investigates the question of whether the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is making life more difficult for advertisers nowadays than it was before.

In his recent video contribution to the LegalInnovation conference, Christian Laux outlines why law firms can use cloud solutions and what documentation the law firm should prepare (reports on technical and organizational measures including legal opinions). The law firm should choose solutions that do not result in plain-text access to client information during normal operations. The legal framework applicable to lawyers must always strictly be adhered to.

The NZZ of March 3, 2021 published an article on the E-Justice Act (Federal Act on the Platform for Electronic Communication in the Judiciary). The article referred to the contribution “Die Urteilspublikation gehört ins E-Justice-Gesetzt” by Daniel Hürlimann, Christian Laux and three other co-authors. The NZZ article provides a good overview of the controversial points of the E-Justice Act. The consultation period expired by end of February and it is expected that the Federal Council will dispatch the draft bill soon.

In the referendum campaign on the BGEID, fears are being stirred up in order to reinterpret what is in itself a technical bill into a battle of "good versus evil". Christian Laux responded to such an inaccurate representation on "Inside Paradeplatz".

In his current Lex Laux column, Christian Laux takes an almost philosophical approach to the connection between IT and feelings. Feelings that, for example, sometimes boil up in connection with the current E-ID debate, which is not only helpful for the factual analysis - or maybe it is?

Christian Laux has published a data protection analysis on the E-ID Act in the Fokus Rechtsguide, a publication appeared alongside Tages Anzeiger dated 21 January 2021.

In the December issue of the Richterzeitung, an article by Daniel Hürlimann, Christian Laux and three other authors was published suggesting that the publication of judgments should be included in the E-Justice Act. The E-Justice Act is in the consultation phase until mid-February. Unfortunately, the Federal Council has missed the opportunity to include the publication of judgments in the law. It is to be hoped that this will change by the draft stage. Otherwise, the topic would still have to be included in the law as a result of the parliamentary deliberations.

In the joint publication with Claudio Fuchs for MQ (Management and Quality) Christian Laux uses the example of a hospital to show why companies should close be diligent when permitting remote access to on-premise applications.
