from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law was a legal research institute based in Munich , which was split into two institutes on January 1, 2011. The research work has been continued by the Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition since 2011 without any changes in personnel or location .

history

The institute was founded in 1966 as the Max Planck Institute for foreign and international patent, copyright and competition law. Under the joint directorate of Eugen Ulmer and Friedrich-Karl Beier (1926–1997) as well as Gerhard Schricker , it exerted a wide range of influence on legal developments in the following years and achieved a high reputation. The focus was on comparative law based analysis of participation in the European harmonization of the law of unfair competition, trademark law , the design law and copyright , the comments of the German copyright and publishing rights as well as the comparative development of the right of patenting biotechnological inventions or exploring the border areas between patent law and other property rights.

In 2002 the institute was renamed and a new department for “ Accounting and Taxes ” was added, which is designed to record the law of capital market information and the taxation of companies as components of the international economic and competition order. The institute's activities in antitrust law have also been expanded significantly. It now traded under the name Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law. In 2009 the institute was expanded to include the finance department.
