It clarified the legality of reselling software licences in the EU. This case involved Oracle's attempt to restrict the resale of its software licences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key points of the judgment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Exhaustion of distribution rights<\/strong><br>Once a software licence is sold in the European Economic Area (EEA) with the consent of the copyright holder, the seller's distribution rights are exhausted. This grants the buyer the right to resell the licence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Equal treatment<\/strong><br>Digital licences are treated in the same way as physical copies, ensuring the full legitimacy of both.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No additional restrictions<\/strong><br>Sellers may not impose further restrictions on the resale of licences, such as prohibiting their transfer or charging additional fees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Impact of subsequent judgments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several court rulings have reinforced the CJEU's decision, confirming the legality of second-hand software licences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>M\u00fcnster Public Chamber of Commerce (01.03.2016)<\/strong><br>It reaffirmed the right of licence holders to resell them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Federal Court of Justice (17.7.2013)<\/strong><br>It confirmed the legality of second-hand software licences nationwide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BGH judgment (11.12.2014)<\/strong><br>It strengthened the regulatory framework for the resale of software licences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OLG Judgment (August 2016)<\/strong><br>It provided consistent legal interpretations in support of second-hand licences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Guaranteeing authenticity and conformity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although these rulings confirm the legality of second-hand software licences, it is crucial to ensure authenticity and compliance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Certified dealers<\/strong><br>Rely on certified resellers like Softastrd, who select licences from reliable channels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Verification of licences<\/strong><br>It implements processes to verify software use and maintain compliance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communication with Suppliers<\/strong><br>Keep an open dialogue with software vendors to keep abreast of their licensing policies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CJEU ruling (Case C-128\/11) and subsequent legal decisions have transformed the software licensing industry.
