Summary

In the digital age, data has become one of the most valuable economic resources, yet its
legal classification and market regulation remain highly complex. This article explores
the evolving legal framework for data governance, with a focus on the intersection of
private and economic law. What is data, and how can it be addressed legally? What does
data ownership entail, and how should ownership and access rights be allocated? What
role do regulations such as the GDPR and the Data Act play in shaping the data economy?
The article highlights the key legal and policy challenges involved in establishing
a fair and competitive data market.
