Special features of sensitive business processes, escrow in outsourcing, considerations in the context of due diligence
2nd OSE Symposium
Speaker: Attorney Dr. Peter Bräutigam (Munich)
Moderator: RA Prof. Dr. Jochen Schneider (Munich)
Outsourcing and due diligence are new and difficult problem areas in software escrow. Dr. Peter Bräutigam spoke on this topic at short notice in place of Thomas Heymann, who was unfortunately unable to attend. In the context of outsourcing, the question arises in relation to escrow as to who is ultimately entitled to claim restitution from the escrow agent after the outsourcing process. In the area of due diligence, difficulties arise with escrow in determining the independent asset value of deposited software in the respective contractual constellation.
