Senior figures in the Spanish legal profession and leading technology companies are to lobby the Spanish Government to strengthen the country’s intellectual property regime and develop a legal framework for the treatment of electronic information, in the wake of concerns that Spanish law is failing to keep pace with the rate of technological change.
The Electronic Evidence Forum, which includes representatives from leading Spanish law firm Garrigues, software houses SAP and Adobe, the Spanish Society of Writers and Publishers and the General Council of the Spanish Notarial Profession, will write to the Justice Minister to demand that the Government provides more resources to the creation and implementation of digital law in Spain to ensure that new legislation is effective and that the judiciary is capable of applying it.
