As an academic association in the field of intellectual property law, the German Association for Intellectual Property Law(GRUR) does not only support academic research at universities, technical universities and technical colleges in a variety of ways, but also initiates its own research projects.

They involve basic research and also research projects that may be of utmost interest to the IP community but cannot be carried out by academic institutions at universities for various reasons.

GRUR thus fulfils its statutory aim to provide continued academic education and the development of intellectual property law on the national, European and international level.

The GRUR research projects are regularly perceived with great interest by the expert community.

The results of the GRUR research projects can be viewed below.
