Potential Legal Issues with the new iPad

Jeff Neuburger, partner in the New York office and Co-Chair of the Technology, Media and Communications Practice Group at Proskauer Rose, raises some interesting potential legal issues with Apple’s latest offering. For instance, when addressing technology “known or hereafter to become known” in a contract, where does the iPad fall? Is it a gaming device? A computer? A smart-phone? And then there’s the questions of ownership rights of constantly-updated, interactive applications.

Questions, questions, everywhere… and not a thought to think.
