Das Urheberrecht ist als absolutes Ausschließlichkeitsrecht ausgestaltet, d. h. für jede rechtmäßige Nutzung durch Dritte ist die Zustimmung des Urhebers notwendig. Dafür hat sich im Urheberrecht der Begriff Opt-In etabliert. Der Autor vergleicht vier Regelungsmodelle, die dieses Grundkonzept auf den Kopf stellen und es Begünstigten erlauben, urheberrechtlich geschützte Werke ohne vorherige Zustimmung zu nutzen, solange der Rechtsinhaber dieser Nutzung nicht widerspricht. Derartige Konzepte werden als Opt-Out-Modelle bezeichnet. Zugleich binden die Modelle Elemente der kollektiven Verwertung und insbesondere Verwertungsgesellschaften ein. Der Autor untersucht diese Modelle umfassend und vergleicht sie. Schließlich beantwortet der Autor die Frage, ob die verschiedenen Modelle verallgemeinerungsfähig sind, sodass Opt-In zugunsten Opt-Out verdrängt werden könnte.

The German Copyright Law grants an absolute right to authors, i.e., any use of protected works requires the author's prior consent. This concept is known as opt-in. In this doctoral thesis the author examines five models which turn this concept upside down as they provide for the permission for certain beneficiaries to use protected works without the author's prior consent until the author objects to such use. This concept is known as opt-out. Also, the examined models contain elements of collectivization and, in particular, involve collecting societies. The author examines and compares these models and answers the question whether the underlying opt-out concept together with collectivization may be generalized so that it could replace opt-in.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is the most important effort undertaken to lay down a plurilateral legal framework for the enforcement of intellectual property rights. With the view to learn more about the origins of this treaty, the process leading to its conclusion and its implications for law making in this field, The ACTA and the Plurilateral Enforcement Agenda: Genesis and Aftermath analyses in great depth both the context and the content of the agreements. In order to attain this objective, a large and diverse group of experts - renowned scholars, policy makers, civil society and industry actors - who represent different perspectives on the necessary balance between intellectual property enforcement and other economic and social interests have been gathered together. This book is the most comprehensive analysis of ACTA, and of its relation with ongoing initiatives to improve enforcement of intellectual property and norms pertaining to a range of international legal regimes, conducted so far.

"This comprehensive book is the first of its kind to take scientists and engineers beyond simply getting a patent granted. Through the author's extensive technical background and experience in intellectual property licensing, it ties the many technical, legal and business aspects of patent enforcement to the innovation and patenting stage in the patent value chain, with the objective of helping inventors to create valuable patents that can be capitalized. In easy-to-understand language, this book covers various aspects, including basic concepts of patent laws and rules, innovation protection, patenting, patents post-granting and patent licensing. With over 40 tables, 70 figures, nearly 100 cases and examples, and a comprehensive index table, it serves as a practical handbook for inventors and patent practitioners. This second edition incorporates the latest changes in the America Invents Act (AIA), with additional case studies and illustrations throughout the book. For inventors who want to file patents by themselves, this new edition provides guidelines and step-by-step instructions on preparing and filing a US provisional patent application, while avoiding the pitfalls that commonly occur in do-it-yourself patenting."--
