  • Pravni vidiki servitizacije [Elektronski vir]
    Hojnik, Janja
    The objective of the article is to demonstrate the many dimensions of servitization and its impact on future development of EU law. Servitization is one of the economic megatrends in modern society, ... a process creating value by adding services to products, ranging from renting and maintaining expensive capital goods and sharing economy to producing smart objects and rapid prototyping. Considering its multifaceted character, servitization inherently touches upon the full spectrum of legal fields. The article first makes an overview of the legal challenges of servitization from the competition and consumer law perspective, corresponding to the two main motives behind the servitization strategy, i.e. locking out competitors and locking in consumers. It then considers servitization in cross-border trade, highlighting the tight connection between servitization and globalisation. Finally, some other important legal aspects of servitization are considered in a nutshell - such as implications for B2B and B2G contracts, environmental and intellectual property law and fundamental rights concerns. It may be observed that law on the one hand promotes the positive aspects of servitization, while simultaneously restraining its negative implications for the European economy and society.
