MPG Supports Research Project on the International Private Law of Intellectual Property

30.01.2006

The Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law will in the coming years conduct a research project on the international private law and procedure of intellectual property in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law in Munich.

In addition to the researchers from the two Institutes, participants include international scholars from the Universities of Uppsala (Prof. Strömholm), Gent und Nottingham (Prof. Torremans), Paris II (Prof. Galloux), Amsterdam (Dr. van Eechoud), Chicago-Kent (Prof. Dinwoodie), Tartu/Estonia (Prof. Pisuke), and Madrid (Pedro de Miguel Asensio). The primary goal of the project is to develop principles of international private law and procedure regarding intellectual property that may later serve legislators and judges as a model for future legal formulations. The project is being funded by a special grant from the Max Planck Society. Participants from the Hamburg Institute are Jürgen Basedow, Axel Metzger and Christian A. Heinze. The working group meets two to three times a year.
