EU Data Act - new rules for access to data in the IoT world
Gianluigi Marino, Antonio Racano

Industry has long been using connected machines and devices (such as drones, robots, wearable devices, etc.): the so-called Internet of Things (IoT). The Data Act lays down new obligations to share data obtained from these devices to stimulate the reuse of such data and technological progress. Thanks to the Data Act, players who previously did not have access to data can finally derive value from them. This could also bring significant benefits to other players in the supply chain (such as SMEs), that will be able to open their horizons to new datasets in order to carry out research and develop new products and services. The Regulation represents a transversal piece of legislation, which impacts, among other things, data processing and intellectual property law.
