| Abstract [eng] |
This dissertation provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of digital assets and the manner in which they may be classified under positive law in order to be recognized as objects of property law. The dissertation examines and formulates the criteria that distinguish a digital asset from other digital objects. The research also evaluates the rationale for recognizing digital assets as objects of property law and examines possible forms of such recognition, specifically whether digital assets should be classified as objects of civil property law or as sui generis objects requiring a distinct legal framework. Furthermore, the dissertation examines the Lithuanian property law framework, assessing the viability of recognizing digital assets as objects of property law by determining whether they may be allocated to one of the categories of property law objects recognized in Lithuanian positive law. |
