Marken- und Patentrechte in Unternehmen

Participation in trademark and patent rights is of fundamental importance for a company’s economic success. Its contractual design must take into account the interests of the parties involved without losing sight of legal risks. This monograph examines the contractual alternatives when it comes to economic participation in trademark and patent rights, affording special consideration to company law. It categorically records and systematises the forms of contracts in order to provide a legally secure and dogmatically stringent basis for drafting them. The study focuses on the partial transfer of trademark rights, the applicability of intellectual property law principles in corporate law and the dogmatic concept of corporate licences, while also considering insolvency risks.
