Description: Legal Issues of Mobile Apps' is a concise, practical guide that provides a detailed analysis of practical legal issues related to mobile apps. It also performs an extensive scrutiny of legal relationships between app developers, app stores and users. Rapidly evolving technology and cross-border issues have created a complex regulatory environment for mobile applications, affecting different areas of law. In less than ten years, touchscreen smartphones and their apps have created an unprecedented technological revolution. Yet they are rife with serious potential for breaches of privacy and security, and a lack of uniform rules makes navigation of the legal landscape extremely difficult. Addressing this unstable regulatory environment, this book for the first time provides a measure of legal certainty. It examines case law and legislation in Europe and the United States to ensure appropriate handling of legal issues that arise in the app marketplace.
