Marken stellen wirtschaftlich bedeutende Rechte dar, deren Wert häufig im Wege der Lizenzierung monetarisiert wird. Aufgrund der Zugriffsmöglichkeit in der Zwangsvollstreckung ist die Marke auch interessant für Gläubiger des Markeninhabers. Die Lizenzierung der Marke durch den Markeninhaber sowie der Zugriff auf die Marke durch dessen Gläubiger in der Zwangsvollstreckung können aufeinandertreffen. Geht eine bereits lizenzierte Marke auf einen neuen Inhaber über, greift der sog. Sukzessionsschutzes des Lizenznehmers, § 30 Abs. 5 MarkenG. Die Vorschrift regelt, dass eine vorher erteilte Lizenz von einem Rechtsübergang nicht ¿berührt" wird. Dies gilt auch für einen Rechtsübergang im Rahmen der Zwangsvollstreckung. Die Autorin untersucht welche Rechtswirkungen daraus im Einzelnen folgen.

This book explores the delicate interconnections between law and economics, especially as regards island entitlements under international maritime law. This is an area in the literature generally overlooked because maritime law has been the domain of legal experts. Maritime boundary disputes are over resources, a vitally important economic subject. Yet, the economics of maritime law has been ignored. Lawyers and legal experts have dominated the field, to the alarming degree of causing needless international conflicts. Our monograph addresses this serious neglect. The methodology would be rational behavior model, one specifically formulated to make the case that dialog and negotiation between these countries is the rational choice leading to win-win outcome in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean territorial waters. Public and private sector actors identified as key decision-makers in all phases of hydrocarbon development and monetization, within an overall win-win framework.

This edited volume analyzes participatory practices in art and cultural heritage in order to determine what can be learned through and from collaboration across disciplinary borders. Following recent developments in museology, museum policies and practices have tended to prioritize community engagement over a traditional focus on collecting and preserving museal objects. At many museal institutions, a shift from a focus on objects to a focus on audiences has taken place. Artistic practices in the visual arts, music, and theater are also increasingly taking on participatory forms. The world of cultural heritage has seen an upsurge in participatory governance models favoring the expertise of local communities over that of trained professionals. While museal institutions, artists, and policy makers consider participation as a tool for implementing diversity policy, a solution to social disjunction, and a form of cultural activism, such participation has also sparked a debate on definitions, and on issues concerning the distribution of authority, power, expertise, agency, and representation. While new forms of audience and community engagement and corresponding models for "e;co-creation"e; are flourishing, fundamental but paralyzing critique abounds and the formulation of ethical frameworks and practical guidelines, not to mention theoretical reflection and critical assessment of practices, are lagging.This book offers a space for critically reflecting on participatory practices with the aim of asking and answering the question: How can we learn to better participate? To do so, it focuses on the emergence of new norms and forms of collaboration as participation, and on actual lessons learned from participatory practices. If collaboration is the interdependent formulation of problems and entails the common definition of a shared problem space, how can we best learn to collaborate across disciplinary borders and what exactly can be learned from such collaboration?
