Digital Property

Chapter 11 in Research Handbook on European Property Law, 2024, pp 125-134 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Digital Property, (also often referred to as Virtual Property) is a broad term used to refer to a wide range of intangible assets that have some sort of connection to digitally or electronically hosted, stored, displayed, transmitted, or facilitated objects. This chapter deals with the concept of digital property in its various guises and provides a brief overview of this emerging (but by no means small) new field of law touching on the issues of terminology, arguments for and against the recognition of virtual property and digital assets; the differentiation (and discrete existence separate) from IP rights; as well as the (in)corporeality/(in)tangibility aspect of digital property.
