Geistiges Eigentum
By: Depenheuer, Otto (ed.); Pfeifer, Karl-Nikolaus (ed.); Peifer, Karl-Nikolaus (ed.)
Published by: Springer

Geistiges Eigentum ist eine Schl??sselressource. Im Zeitalter von Digitalisierung und Globalisierung ist sein Schutz gleichwohl in eine Akzeptanzkrise geraten. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die Ergebnisse eines Dialogs zwischen Praxis und Wissenschaft in Bereichen, in denen sich die Frage, ob die Rechte zum Schutz Geistigen Eigentums einen legitimen Schutz- oder einen Ausbeutungstitel verschaffen, besonders nachhaltig stellt. Dies betrifft die Biotechnologie und den patentrechtlichen Schutz von nat??rlichen und genetischen Ressourcen, den Schutz von Software im Urheber- und Patentrecht sowie die Zukunft des Urheberrechts im Zeitalter digitaler Medien. Anliegen des in zwei Veranstaltungen durchgef??hrten Dialogs war es, das Bewusstsein f??r den berechtigten Kern von Patentrecht und Urheberrecht zu st??rken, aber auch aufzuzeigen, wo dieser Kern aufgeweicht ist. more...

Gutgläubiger Mobiliarerwerb
By: Karner, Ernst
Published by: Springer

Die Frage eines redlichen Mobiliarerwerbs ist nicht nur von groer praktischer Bedeutung   so im Kreditsicherungsrecht oder beim Erwerb von Kunstgegenstnden,   sondern wirft auch zentrale Gerechtigkeitsprobleme auf: Ist es sachlich gerechtfertigt, dass der Eigentmer gegen seinen Willen sein Recht verliert, weil der Erwerber gutglubig einem nicht berechtigten Veruerer vertraut hat? Die Herausarbeitung der mageblichen Interessen macht dabei deutlich, dass nicht individuelle Gesichtspunkte, sondern nur allgemeine Verkehrsschutzbedrfnisse einen redlichen Mobiliarerwerb zu legitimieren vermgen. Auch zeigt sich, dass sachenrechtliche Ordnungsfragen nicht isoliert betrachtet werden drfen, sondern es ntig ist, rechtsgeschichtliche und rechtsvergleichende Aspekte in die Untersuchung einzubeziehen. Erst auf dieser Basis ist es mglich, die mageblichen Grundprinzipien herauszuarbeiten, die fr eine sachgerechte Lsung der zahlreichen strittigen Einzelfragen unerlsslich sind. more...

Haftungsrecht
By: Brüggemeier, Gert
Published by: Springer

Die historisch gewachsenen nationalen Haftungsrechte in der EU stehen vor einer unbewltigten doppelten Herausforderung: Zum einen die Anpassung an die (post)industrielle Moderne (Stichworte: Risiken, Versicherung, Unternehmenshaftung); zum anderen die Harmonisierung in dem gemeinsamen Binnenmarkt der EG und in dem Verfassungsraum der EU. Der Verfasser misstraut allflligen Kodifikations- und Vereinheitlichungsinitiativen. Er setzt auf die Annherung von unten," d. h. ber die vorfindlichen Rechtsordnungen der Mitgliedstaaten. Dies setzt einen europischen Diskurs ber Struktur, Prinzipien und Schutzbereich voraus. Hierzu leistet der Verfasser fr das Haftungsrecht einen Beitrag. In kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit dem deutschen Recht und mit vergleichendem Blick auf das englische und amerikanische sowie das franzsische Recht arbeitet er Entwicklungsperspektiven fr ein europisches Haftungsrecht heraus. more...

Incivilities
By: vonHirsch, Andrew (ed.); Simester, Andrew (ed.)
Published by: Hart Publishing, Ltd

Prohibitions against offensive conduct have existed for many years, but their extent and use was on the decline. Recently, however, several jurisdictions, including England and Wales, have moved to broaden the reach and severity of measures against incivilities. New measures include expanded targeting of unpopular forms of public conduct, such as begging, and legislation authorising magistrates to issue prohibitory orders against anti-social behaviour. Because these quality-of-life prohibitions can be so restrictive of personal liberties, it is essential to develop adequate guiding and limiting principles concerning State intervention in this area. This book addresses the legal regulation of offensive behaviour. Topics include: the nature of offensiveness; the grounds and permissible scope of criminal prohibitions against offensive behaviour; the legitimacy of civil orders against incivilities; and identifying the social trends that have generated current political interest in preventing incivilities through intervention of law. These questions are addressed by eleven distinguished philosophers, criminal law theorists, criminologists, and sociologists. In an area that has attracted much public comment but little theoretical analysis to date, these essays develop a fuller conceptual framework for debating questions about the legal regulation of offensive behaviour. more...

Insurance Class Actions in the United States
By: Pace, Nicholas M.; Carroll, Stephen J.; Vogelsang, Ingo
Published by: RAND Corporation

Class actions, which are civil cases in which parties initiate a lawsuit on behalf of other plaintiffs not specifically named in the complaint, often make the headlines, especially when they result in settlements affecting millions of class members and requiring millions of dollars in restitution. They have also aroused vocal policy debates, as exemplified during the deliberations of the U.S. Congress prior to the enactment of the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. But despite this long-standing interest, policymakers and the public know very little about the majority of class actions filed in this country-their numbers, their dynamics, or their outcomes. RAND used a defendant-based survey to collect original data on both state and federal insurance class actions, and also surveyed state departments of insurance to learn more about the interests of regulators in the issues litigated by the parties in these cases. This book presents the results. With these data, we are able to describe important characteristics of the litigation, including what types of classes are sought, where these cases are being filed, what allegations are made, how these cases are resolved, how much time it takes to bring them to resolution, and the possible impact of the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. more...

Investor and Industry Perspectives on Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers
By: Hung, Angela A.; Clancy, Noreen; Dominitz, Jeff
Published by: RAND Corporation

In theory, financial professionals are relatively distinct: A broker conducts transactions in securities on behalf of others; a dealer buys and sells securities for his or her own accounts; and an investment adviser provides advice to others regarding securities. Broker-dealers and investment advisers are subject to different regulatory structures. But trends in the financial services market since the early 1990s have blurred the boundaries between them. Regulatory reform requires a clearer understanding of the industry?s complexities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asked RAND to conduct this study to examine the professionals? current business practices and whether investors understand differences between and relationships among them. The report describes a heterogeneous industry, with firms taking many different forms and offering a multitude of services and products and with investors failing to distinguish broker-dealers and investment advisers along regulatory lines. Despite this, investors express high levels of satisfaction with the services they receive from their own financial service providers. This satisfaction was much more frequently reported to arise from the personal attention the investor receives than from the actual financial returns arising from this relationship. more...
