How is Information Technology Software defined in a legal contract?
- Information Technology Software means any form of instructions, data, sound, or image, which includes both source and object code. These are recorded in a format that a machine can read and are able to be manipulated or offer an interactive experience to a user. This can occur through a computer, an automatic data processing machine, or any other available device or equipment. Seen in 18 SEC filings.
Note: The Genie AI Legal Assistant pulled this data out of the SEC EDGAR Database of 500,000 records from the past 22 years of filings. We regularly update this page as new filings and definitions come in.
Search EDGAR for 'Definitions of information technology software' yourself to verify these results. We are always keen to point people to source documents.
