FLIP Buzzwords:

Internet of Things

On-demand · 1.5 CPD Units

On Wednesday 30 September our FLIP Buzzwords series covered the “Internet of Things (IoT)”.

IoT devices are machine endpoints of internet-enabled, data-driven services including smart wearables, speakers, connected car, home automation, building and utility meter, monitoring and surveillance devices.

The enterprise and automotive IoT market is forecast to grow to 5.8 billion endpoints in 2020, according to Gartner Inc., a 21% increase from 2019. COVID-19 has accelerated that growth.

IoT devices and the services they support are rapidly changing the legal profession. Legal compliance and governance of services enabled by IoT-gathered data requires new processes of risk assessment and management, and new forms of contract between service providers and customers.

The September installment of FLIP Buzzwords brought together a panel of experts to explore the IoT, and discuss the opportunities and challenges the IoT poses for lawyers.

In this session, our experts explored:

  • What is IoT?
  • The difference between B2B and B2C IoT
  • Contracting for IoT
  • Addressing IoT security, privacy, product liability, risk and evidentiary issues, and consumer protection.
