Open innovation – the strategic opening of innovation processes for external or even lay persons – is not yet very widespread in Germany. Other countries are already much further along, as two examples from Scandinavia show. The article by guest author Christin Skiera was previously published in Merton Magazin.

Der Valentinstag steht vor der Tür, am 14. Februar werden Unmengen an Schnittblumen verschenkt. Aber auch das ganze Jahr hindurch bringen sie als Dekoration Farbe und ein Stück Natur in Wohnräume und Büros. Laut einer Importstatistik der Vereinten Nationen liegt der weltweite Handelswert für Schnittblumen bei rund 4 Milliarden US-Dollar. Dabei stellen Europa (66,7%), die USA (19,3%) und Japan (10,7%) die größten Abnehmer. Allein die Deutschen geben im Durchschnitt rund 100 Euro pro Kopf im Jahr für Schnittblumen und Zierpflanzen aus.

Introduction and background

It was almost exactly five years ago that a reform of EU copyright was included in the European Commission’s list of priorities. The setting of that priority was followed by several public consultations, countless public events, and many face-to-face meetings. In 2016, the Commission made a proposal for what this reform would look like.

The Southeast Asia region is one of the fastest growing regions in the world today. With rich natural resources, it has evolved into a highly industrialized region, inviting investors from all over the world. The riches however, are not enjoyed by all. According to one ASEAN report, close to 36 million of its population are still living below the international poverty line, with 90% of these people in Indonesia or the Philippines.

For centuries, ordinary Brits have enjoyed a legal “right to ramble” throughout the countryside even when they might cross someone’s private property. In England and Wales alone, there are an estimated 140,000 miles of footpaths and bridlepaths that are considered public rights of way. Now, as reported by the website Boing Boing, the full scope of this right — and access to a vast network of paths — is in question.

电子商务法“升级”对消费者保护力度
2018-09-18 本报记者　蒲晓磊
禁止网购刷单；不得默认搭售；应当及时退还押金……针对近两年出现的一些侵害消费者权益的现象,电子商务法专门作出规定,并明确了相应的法律责任。例如,针对押金退还问题,电子商务法规定,电子商务经营者未向消费者明示押金退还的方式、程序,对押金退还设置不合理条件,或者不及时退还押金的,最高可处以五十万元的罚款。近些年,伴随着电子商务的高速发展,侵害消费者权益的花样也在不断翻新,电子商务法专门在多处针对热点问题作出回应,进一步构建了保护消费者权益的法律制度。
经营者不得滥用格式条款
北京师范大学法学院教授薛虹指出,在电子商务活动中,交易都是采用电子商务合同,除非特殊情况(例如当事人特别约定签署传统纸面方式的确认书)或者特殊领域(例如法律、行政法规有禁止性规定),都是采用自动信息系统订立的。
对此,电子商务法专门在“电子商务合同的订立与履行”一章中规定了一系列保护消费者合法权益的法律制度,主要包括:电子商务经营者信息披露义务、允许消费者更正输入错误的义务、不得滥用格式条款的义务。

In January last year I looked back at 2017 trying to figure out how routing security looked like globally and on a country level. I used BGPStream.com – a great public service providing information about suspicious events in the routing system.
