Current projects

“Equitable Licences”

  • Funding body: Volkswagen Foundation (Germany)
    Duration: 2008–2010
  • Co-operation project with Dr Peter Tinnemann, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and Dr Christian-Wagner-Ahlfs, BUKO – Pharmakampagne, Bielefeld.

  • The project examines the practice of technology transfer through patented research results from universities to industry. It examines how the responsibility of ‘public’ research is reflected in its licensing policies. One aim of the project is to develop a set of model licences that can be used in the day-to-day work of technology transfer offices.

‘Differential Pricing’

Bild

  • Commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Health,

    • Completed in April 2010 with the publication of the book *Differential Pricing*, Nomos 2010.
    • January–April 2008: Preparation of the expert report “Price Differentiation for Patent-Protected Medicines against Life-Threatening Infectious Diseases”
    • 9–10 October 2008: Organisation of the conference “Differential Pricing of Pharmaceuticals inside Europe – Exploring Compulsory Licences and Exhaustion”, Haus der Wissenschaft, Bremen.
    • 2010: Publication of legal opinions and conference papers in: C. Godt (ed.), Differential Pricing of Pharmaceuticals inside Europe, Nomos-Verlag.
    • The project began with a legal opinion examining the framework within which compulsory licences can be granted within Europe (spring 2008) in order to achieve price differentiation within Europe. The findings of the legal opinion were discussed at a conference in October 2008 with international experts from academia and practice.

“Boundaries to Information Property”

  • Since 2003 – Lead coordinator of the ‘Boundaries of Information Property’ working group as part of the research network ‘The Common
    Core Project of European Private Law’,
  • Project co-leadership with Prof. Dr Geertrui van Overwalle, Katholieke
    Universiteit Leuven – Centrum voor Intellectuele Rechten (CIR), Belgium,
    Prof. Deryck Beyleveld, University of Sheffield, UK, and
    Dr Lucie Guibault, Instituut voor Informatierecht, Universiteit Amsterdam.
  • Further information at www.jus.unitn.it/dsg/common-core/
  • Organisation of the conference ‘Boundaries to Information Property’, 11–14 September 2008, Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property in Munich,
    Funded by the German Research Foundation.
  • Current: Receipt of the latest country reports and their review
  • Publication “Boundaries to Information Property”
    as part of the series‘ The Common Core of European Private
    Law’,     Cambridge University Press.

  • The project examines the national differences in the management of
    conflicts of law arising from the expansion of intellectual property
    into various policy areas. The centre is on how
    the various legal systems deal with conflicts that were formerly
    shaped by the constituent elements (scope of protection) and the extent of protection
    of intellectual property rights, but which have now lost their shaping power due to
    the extension of protection. The study
    currently covers 15 jurisdictions. The research methodology is
    based on comparative law and strictly oriented towards (constructed) cases (questionnaire).

‘Comparative Property Law’

  • textbook project since 2007 in collaboration with Prof. Dr F. Fiorentini, Trieste (I) and Prof. A. Clarke, London (UK).
  • Based on the teaching materials from my Hanse Law School courses (winter semester 2006/2007; 2008/2009), the project aims to produce a textbook for the emerging subject of ‘Comparative Property Law’. It compiles case material in a problem-based (behaviour- and outcome-oriented) and comparative law manner, and discusses the principles, rationales and solutions of the individual legal systems.
  • Update: A joint ‘team teaching’ initiative with Prof. Dr Sjef van Erp (Maastricht University) as part of the Hanse Law School, winter semester 2009/10, in which Prof. Van Erp will contribute his textbook ‘Comparative Property Law’, which is nearing completion, will help to advance our book project.
