  • Patent Litigation in Germany, Japan and the United States C.H
    JOHANN PITZ / ATSUSHI KAWADA / JEFFREY A. SCHWAB Patent Litigation in Germany, Japan and the United States C.H. Beck, Hart Publishing and Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft, Munich / Oxford / Portland / Baden-Baden 2015, 199 + 7 pp. (Index) + XXI pp. (Contents, Abbreviations, Bibliography), 190 € (Beck, Nomos) / 262.50 £ (Hart), ISBN: 978 3 406 65075 6 (Beck). In this book, three experienced legal practitioners in patent matters in their respective countries provide in a nutshell a well-written and reliable overview on three of the most important jurisdictions for patent infringement litigation, namely Germany, Japan and the United States (U.S.). The parts on Germany were written by Dr. Johann Pitz, a well- known patent litigator in Germany who works for Vossius and Partner, a law firm in Munich specialized in intellectual property (IP) matters. Dr. Pitz is also the author of numerous publications concerning German patent law. Responsible for the parts on Japan is Atsushi Kawada, a Japanese attorney at law and patent attorney who is a graduate from the law faculty of Tōkyō University and who also studied for some years law at the University of Cologne. He has built up around twenty years of experience as a legal practitioner specialized in IP matters while working for a number of prestigious Japanese law firms and a Japanese-German law firm in Tōkyō. The parts dealing with U.S. patent law and patent litigation were written by Jeffrey A. Schwab, a U.S. patent attorney who also specializes in IP litigation. Unlike some other publications with a similar objective, also covering the legal and judicial framework for patent litigation in the addressed three countries, that rather provide a collection of individual country surveys1, this book is structured by its subject matter.

  • The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia
    Ifo Institute Immigration and the Diffusion of Technology: The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia Erik Hornung Ifo Working Paper No. 114 November 2011 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded from the Ifo website www.cesifo-group.de. Ifo Working Paper No. 114 Immigration and the Diffusion of Technology: The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia* Abstract This paper analyzes long-term effects of skilled-worker immigration on productivity for the Huguenots migration to Prussia. We combine Huguenot immigration lists from 1700 with Prussian firm-level data on the value of inputs and outputs in 1802 in a unique data base. In 1685, religious persecution drove highly skilled Huguenots out of France into backward Brandenburg-Prussia where they were channeled into towns to compensate population losses due to plagues during the Thirty Years’ War. Exploiting this settlement pattern in an instrumental-variable approach, we still find causal effects of Huguenot settlement on the productivity of textile manufactories hundred years after their immigration. JEL Classification: N33, J24, O33, F22.
