IL CONTRATTO DI RETE

The paper aims to analyze the enterprise network contract, “contratto di rete”, which was introduced with Italian Law April 9, 2009 n. 33 and subsequent amendments. In particular, the author considers the changes recently introduced, with Laws 134/2012 and 221/2012, which have introduced a system of "optional subjectivity“ for enterprise networks, clarifying some doubts on the legal regulation of network contracts. However, these changes have lead to a fragmentation within the laws. With these regulatory changes, the paper aims to study the enterprise network contract legislation in the perspective of institutions and civil groups, in order to reconstruct a complete and consistent picture of the applicable regulations of the various types of business networks.
