Type D and Type F activities
This information is intended exclusively for students already enrolled in this course.If you are a new student interested in enrolling, you can find information about the course of study on the course page:
Laurea in Bioinformatica - Enrollment from 2025/2026Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.
1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona
Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.
2. Attestato o equipollenza linguistica CLA
Oltre a quelle richieste dal piano di studi, per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022 vengono riconosciute:
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Tali cfu saranno riconosciuti, fino ad un massimo di 6 cfu complessivi, di tipologia F se il piano didattico lo consente, oppure di tipologia D. Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
Gli immatricolati fino all'A.A. 2020/2021 devono consultare le informazioni che si trovano qui.
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: richiedere l’attestato o l'equipollenza al CLA e inviarlo alla Segreteria Studenti - Carriere per l’inserimento dell’esame in carriera, tramite mail: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Competenze trasversali
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal TALC - Teaching and learning center dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'anno accademico di erogazione del corso https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: non è previsto l'inserimento dell'insegnamento nel piano di studi. Solo in seguito all'ottenimento dell'Open Badge verranno automaticamente convalidati i CFU a libretto. La registrazione dei CFU in carriera non è istantanea, ma ci saranno da attendere dei tempi tecnici.
4. Periodo di stage/tirocinio
Oltre ai CFU previsti dal piano di studi (verificare attentamente quanto indicato sul Regolamento Didattico): qui informazioni su come attivare lo stage.

Learning outcomes
The software is the center of the economic and innovative fabric. The aim of the course is that students can understand the legal implications in the use of software and information systems, as well as understand the rights that arise from the creation of original software. The course therefore aims to introduce the problems that arise at the intersection between information technology and law, also in order to help students to be aware that, in the world of work, the knowledge of the existence of legal rules could determine the success of the their business. In particular, the study will start from the analysis of the protection of software in Europe between patenting and copyright. Brief notes on sw protection in common law countries. Subsequently, the articles of the law on copyright relating to the rights of economic exploitation of intellectual property will be examined (as well as the prohibitions that the code places in the exploitation of the works of others) and subsequently, the articles of the LDA expressly prepared for the protection of the SW (including all problems relating to the inventions of employees, researchers, directors of joint stock companies, shareholders' agreements). The legal rules governing some IT contracts, in particular software licenses, will then be analyzed, paying particular attention to the new legal regimes of digital content: open source and creative commons. Examples will be provided on the legal protection of apps and multimedia works between copyright and industrial law (trademarks / design / SIAE). Finally, the course will end with a brief mention of artificial intelligence software: in relation to the nature and quality of software as a product.
Program
1) General framework of the subject. What is copyright, what is industrial law. Legal notion of computer program as intellectual creation and intangible law. Works protected by the LDA (copyright law) inventions protected by the CPI (industrial property code. SW framework between copyright and industrial protection. Solutions adopted at the EU and EXTRA EU licenses.
2) The SW protected by the LDA. In general, the rights arising from the works protected by the LDA. Sources of law. Moral rights / property rights. In particular, study of the articles of the LDA relating to software (art. 1, 2, 12 and 64 bis et seq. LDA).
3) Continued from previous lesson. SW created by the employee / SW created by the administrative body / SW created by the shareholder of a joint stock company. Advertising - news: SIAE and public register sw - Copyright Office Washington. Further Open Issues. The legal protection of the programming language.
4) Contracts relating to the transfer of copyright on sw (license; development) The proprietary sw, the free sw, the open source sw. The protection of the app.
5) The patentable SW. Sources of law. Open legal issues. The protection of the algorithm.
