    Florian Müller from Switzerland and Martin Schirmbacher introduce the topic Florian will host together with Mathias Nordmann of SKW in Munich: NFT and crypto challenges. Florian briefly explains what NFT actually are and we discuss whether the hype on NFT is already over and how the general idea will live on in certain business models.

    In this episode Martin Schirmbacher speaks with expert Prof. Eric Wagner from Stuttgart, Germany, on Product liability for automated and semi-automated systems. They start with clarifying that the automation of systems is actually much more than autonomous driving vehicles. Eric than differentiates between contractual obligations and tort law. We briefly touch upon the changed European legislation on digital products and the obligation of sellers (and manufacturers) to provide updates to software. Eric then speaks about developments in product liability laws and how to deal with the risks involved in diligence processes before M&A transactions.
