Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) was an attempt to introduce a Uniform Act for the United States to follow. As a model law, it only specifies a set of guidelines, and each of the States should decide if to pass it or not, separately. UCITA has been drafted by National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). UCITA has only been passed in two states, Virginia and Maryland. The law did not pass in other states. Nevertheless, legal scholars, such as noted commercial law professor Jean Braucher, believe that the UCITA offers academic value.

| - Der Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) war ein umstrittener US-amerikanischer Gesetzesvorschlag aus dem Jahr 1999 zur Neuregelung des Vertragsrechtes für Software. Es sah u. a. vor, dass Lizenzverträge auch dann gültig sind, wenn der Kunde sie erst nach dem Kauf des Produktes einsehen kann. Außerdem sollten Softwarefirmen ein Recht zum „Ausschalten der Lizenz“ erhalten, beispielsweise bei Ablauf einer Lizenz durch Löschen per Internet auf dem Kundenrechner. Das Vorhaben wurde im August 2003 für gescheitert erklärt. Es wurde jedoch 2000 in den Bundesstaaten Virginia und Maryland ratifiziert und war dort auch 2008 noch geltendes Recht. (de)

- Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) was an attempt to introduce a Uniform Act for the United States to follow. As a model law, it only specifies a set of guidelines, and each of the States should decide if to pass it or not, separately. UCITA has been drafted by National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL). UCITA has been designed to clarify issues which were not addressed by existing Uniform Commercial Code. "Few disagree that the current Uniform Commercial Code is ill-suited for use with licensing and other intangible transactions", said practicing attorney Alan Fisch. UCITA has only been passed in two states, Virginia and Maryland. The law did not pass in other states. Nevertheless, legal scholars, such as noted commercial law professor Jean Braucher, believe that the UCITA offers academic value. A resolution recommending approval of UCITA by the American Bar Association (ABA) has been withdrawn by the NCCUSL in 2003, indicating that UCITA lacks the consensus which is necessary for it to become a uniform act. UCITA has faced significant opposition from various groups. (en)
