My research was possible thanks to Siemens AG, Munich and Berlin. I owe special gratitude to Professor Dr. Winfried Büttner, Head CT I, and Klaus Kohlmann, Head CT IP MAC, for the opportunity to work as a freelancer for the patent department in Munich over the last three years. In addition, Mr Kohlmann deserves particular credit for his elaborate explanations of the legal nature of intellectual property rights under national and international patent law. My work greatly benefited from his valuable advice and friendly help.
