Updata­bi­li­ty, man­da­to­ry updates and pro­duct lia­bi­li­ty law framework

The num­ber of pro­ducts which con­tain soft­ware or which func­tion in a soft­ware envi­ron­ment is incre­asing at a mas­si­ve pace. In addi­ti­on to many other ques­ti­ons, this rai­ses the ques­ti­on of lia­bi­li­ty for dama­ges cau­sed by soft­ware errors or soft­ware which is vul­nerable to attack.

Phil­ipp Reusch takes up the topic in the cur­rent edi­ti­on of Betriebs­Be­ra­ter maga­zi­ne and ana­ly­zes the aspects of pro­duct lia­bi­li­ty and pro­duct safe­ty law, as well as addres­sing the ques­ti­on as to whe­ther the­re is a duty to make a pro­duct updata­ble by design.
