Synopsis

Japanese law has undergone fundamental reform in recent years. As topics of great interest to both academics and practitioners, important innovations in the areas of intellectual property law, corporate law, and labor law are examined here from a comparative perspective. The authors are leading Japanese and German academics and practitioners with experience in the Japanese business world. The articles appearing in this volume are based on papers first presented at the symposium titled “Aktuelle Fragen des gewerblichen Rechtsschutzes und des Unternehmensrechts im deutsch-japanischen Rechtsverkehr” [Current Issues in Intellectual Property and Corporate Law in German-Japanese Legal Relations], held in Frankfurt am Main in the fall of 2010. The conference was organized by the German-Japanese Association of Jurists (DJJV) and the Interdisciplinary Center for East Asian Studies (IZO) at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main on the occasion of the centenary of the law firm Sonderhoff & Einsel, Tokyo, specialists in patent law issues.
