case law on used software
The European Court of Justice (ECJ), as the highest judicial body of the European Union, has provided final clarity with its ruling and declared the trade in used computer programs to be fundamentally legal.
The ECJ also ruled that the sale of used software is permissible even if the software is transmitted online.
On 17 July 2013, the Federal Court of Justice fully confirmed the ECJ’s fundamental decision with regard to the underlying legal questions.
The ECJ ruling also applies to volume licenses and their splitting. This was confirmed by the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main in a case between Adobe and usedSoft.
In their reasoning for the judgment, the 13 judges of the Grand Chamber clearly stated that the principle of exhaustion applies to every first sale of software. The ECJ even ruled that the second purchaser of licenses transferred online may download the software again from the manufacturer: "In addition, the exhaustion of the distribution right extends to the copy of the program in the version improved and updated by the copyright holder," said the ECJ. The Court thus went well beyond the conclusion of the ECJ Advocate General of 24 April 2012.
VOLUME LICENSES AND THEIR SPLITTING ARE ALSO LEGAL
In a later ruling by the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt am Main in a case between Adobe and usedSoft, the further consequences of the ECJ ruling were impressively confirmed: The Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt ruled that the ECJ ruling also applies to volume license agreements and their splitting. The Federal Court of Justice rejected an appeal by Adobe in its entirety on December 11, 2014 (case number I ZR 8/13). The ruling of the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt was thus confirmed in the final instance.
