Summary/Abstract: The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) has been a valuable instrument of international trade law for decades. However, the rapid evolution of global commerce, particularly the rise of complex sales contracts, such as those involving significant technology licensing components or turnkey projects, raises questions about the Convention's continued relevance and applicability. This article examines the CISG’s adaptability to these modern contractual arrangements, exploring its strengths and limitations in relation to hybrid contracts that blur the lines between goods, services, and intellectual property.
