CFUpdate: Valuable, secret, protected: On the handling of information under the new Trade Secrets Act
On 21 March 2019, the German Bundestag passed a new law to better protect secret information and to ensure uniform protection throughout the EU.

CFUpdate: Intellectual property rights in Germany
In a globalized economy, where companies share their services and goods across continents – does anyone actually need special knowledge of German property rights? Absolutely! Because for intellectual property (IP) rights, as in other areas of law, the principle of territoriality applies. Every state grants sovereign rights within its own territory and determines the limits thereof. For IP rights this concerns temporary exclusion rights that are limited to the territory of the state and prohibit the use of the protected subject-matter without the permission of the owner.
