RISE – 6th Research on Innovation, Science and Entrepreneurship Workshop

Max-Planck-Institut für Innovation und Wettbewerb

Keynote: Ina Ganguli (UMass Amherst)

On 18/19 December 2023, the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition will host the 6th Research on Innovation, Science and Entrepreneurship Workshop (RISE6), an annual workshop for Ph.D. students and Junior Post-docs in Economics and Management. 


The goal of the RISE6 Workshop is to stimulate an in-depth discussion of a select number of empirical research papers. It offers Ph.D. students and Junior Post-docs an opportunity to present their work and to receive feedback.


Keynote speaker of the RISE6 Workshop is Ina Ganguli (UMass Amherst).


See the Call for Papers.

Global Data Law Conference Series: Comparative Data Law

In Zusammenarbeit mit dem University of Passau Research Centre for Law and Digitalisation (FREDI)


Raum E10

Data is a central resource of and multiple-use production factor in the 21st century. Data creation, data processing, data use, and data transfer is – in the words of data geopolitics – inherently linked to the competitiveness of not only economies, but also of societies. Nevertheless, the quest for an adequate and balanced governance framework is on-going – whereby data governance does not only, but also encompasses hard and soft law regulation. The respective field of data law is emerging and not yet fully ‘surveyed’, still in the process of making as well as fragmented along the lines of existing rules and recent policy efforts. The legal (and infrastructural) taxonomy is in flux and an inherent element of modern-day data strategies worldwide.

Underlining this global nature of data governance, the conference is aimed at a truly global view on data law instruments – where the current EU pieces of legislation (inter alia the General Data Protection Regulation as well as the Data Governance Act and the proposed Data Act) are only one of many approaches. Most important, the conference is devoted to a contextual – and a decolonial comparative law – approach to data regulation – including cultural, economic, and infrastructural dimensions of data governance and linking perspectives from the global north and global south as well from liberal and authoritarian settings.

The conference is co-organised by the University of Passau Research Centre for Law and Digitalisation (FREDI) and the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition. The event is the final part of a three-tier conference series on Global Data Law and element of a greater research agenda with respect to Global Data Law & Policy.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship Seminar: Unclear Patent Boundaries and Patent Infringement

Sascha Walter (Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg)


Raum 313

Legal scholars have long speculated that unclear boundaries of patents lead to patent infringement. However, the debate in economics on improving patent quality has mostly ignored this. Instead, the focus has been on patent scope. This study is one of the first to explore how claim clarity, per se and together with claim limitations (a driver of patent scope), affects the likelihood that the patent is litigated for infringement and of winning an infringement lawsuit. Our findings suggest that clearer patents are litigated for infringement significantly less, in particular if they are narrow in scope, and that claim clarity increases the chances of winning an infringement lawsuit in court. Scope, in contrast, plays a much smaller role than one would expect from prior research.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship Seminar: Privacy vs. Health? The EU General Data Protection Regulation and Its Impact on Clinical Research

Christian Sternitzke (Sternitzke Ventures)


Raum 313

In 2018, the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective. It puts restrictions on the use of personal data including health data in clinical research, which also affects publication of such data in medical journals to preserve patient privacy. Given higher hurdles for clinical researchers, it seems plausible that the GDPR negatively affects clinical research outcomes from the EU. This work studies these research outputs, finding that there is a decline by 3-4% in publications of case reports from EU researchers. Subsequent analyses show that EU researchers cannot compensate for that by increasing collaborative efforts with partners outside the EU boundaries. Overall, this means that the GDPR reduces the possibility of knowledge diffusion, which can ultimately have negative side effects on patient health.
