The
Internet of Things will
dramatically change
business and business
models, affecting the
way consumers access
businesses and the way
businesses gather
information.
DLA Piper’s Internet of
Things group invites you
to the second session in
our series of one-hour
webinars, this one
looking at the role of
free and open source
software (FOSS) in the
Internet of Things
industry.
Accenture, in its report
on the Industrial
Internet of Things, has
described software as
the “connective tissue
for value creation.” In
this session, we will
provide an overview of
the critical role of
FOSS in the development
of the infrastructure of
the Internet of Things
and discuss FOSS
licenses, the role of
foundations and
trademarks arising from
the use of FOSS.
Subsequent sessions in
the IoT series will
cover such areas as
connected cars, smart
home, ehealth and
wearable technology.
