Industry 4.0 & Advanced Manufacturing Technologies

Advanced manufacturing has changed the legal questions a Turkish factory needs to answer. Equipment now includes embedded software with its own license; production lines generate data that has to be classified and protected; supplier relationships involve IP-sharing arrangements that did not exist a decade ago.

We advise manufacturers and their technology partners on the contractual and IP architecture behind Industry 4.0 — software licensing for embedded systems, data ownership and processing across the supply chain, joint development agreements with technology providers, and the regulatory framework for industrial data and cybersecurity.
