Statements on current legal Issues
The German national group comments on current legislative proposals in the field of intellectual property.
The in-depth expertise of our broad membership base allows us to submit well-founded opinions on complex legal issues within a very short time. Our experts from practice, the judiciary, research and teaching make constructive and application-oriented suggestions for improvement in the interests of harmonising and promoting the protection of intellectual property. We are very pleased that the Federal Ministry of Justice in particular regularly asks us to comment on proposed legislation.
Examples of this work include:
Opinion on a possible extension of the Madrid and Hague language regimes
Opinion on the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on “standard essential patents”
Opinion on the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on supplementary protection certificates (SPCs)
Opinion on the European Commission’s proposal for a regulation on “compulsory licences”
