About this project
Hi, I am Jonathan Melke, a German lawyer, entrepreneur and developer. Currently, I am an associate at Hogan Lovells, where I advise clients on the implementation and utilization of the Data Act (among other things).
This is a more readable version of the Data Act with a selection of my private notes, which I will keep updating.
I hope you find some useful insights.

About the notes
The notes are organized by article, like a typical German commentary on a law (in German Gesetzeskommentar). However, it does not offer the full scope of such a commentary. You will find links to relevant documents (e.g. opinions of supervisory authorities) and interesting sources as well as notes in the form of bullet points.
⚠️ Despite careful efforts, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the text of Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 (Data Act) displayed here and there may be inadvertent errors.
