Prof. Dr. Jan Eichelberger wrote an article on the topic "Compensation of immaterial damages in case of data protection violations" ("Ersatz immaterieller Schäden bei Datenschutzverstößen") (pp. 137-156). Professor Eichelberger examines the Union law requirements for the interpretation and application of the claim for compensation for immaterial damages in the case of data protection violations contained in Art. 82 (1) GDPR. He shows that although this claim for damages is intended to compensate the person concerned in full, neither the GDPR nor other Union law requires overcompensatory damages - e.g. for preventive reasons. Only damage actually incurred is to be compensated.
Prof. Dr. Christian Heinze, as co-editor of the Festschrift, wrote a contribution on "Patent Infringement by Development, Application and Distribution of Artificial Neural Networks" ("Patentverletzung durch Entwicklung, Anwendung und Verbreitung künstlicher neuronaler Netze") (pp. 663-710). Prof. Heinze examines possible infringement actions and the attribution of "autonomous" infringement actions of AI systems.
