In August 2000 Erich Häußer and Wilhelm Helger left the board. Then Norbert Haugg, former presiding judge at the Federal Patent Court and President of the German Patent and Trademark Office, took over the board.

Heinz Hölter was followed by Viktor Dulger and Hans Rump in 2002 . After the death of Hans Rump in 2006, Paul-Alexander Wacker added to the board.

In 2009 the general assembly elected Alexander Wurzer and Heiner Pollert, who formed the board together with Paul-Alexander Wacker until the end of 2010. Since December 2010, the board has consisted of Alexander Wurzer, Heiner Pollert and Manfred columnsberger.
