Legal Research

In legal research, we focus on two key areas such as

• empirical legal research and
• research into legal facts.

As experts in empirical legal research we undertake research in the field of law of competition and trademarks based on investigations of 'famous trademarks', 'secondary meaning' danger of deception, danger of confusion and more. These studies range from multi-subject surveys within the general population to special enquiries among certain groups of people. Our clientele are law courts, solicitors, (multi-national) business enterprises, associations and national & international patent and trademark offices.

The basis of our studies in the area of research into legal facts are investigations of relevant legal aspects of general life issues by means of surveys and / or document analyses. These products range from surveys to explore the costs of planned new laws (or laws to be changed) in order to provide ministries with realistic cost assessments, to evaluate existing laws, to examine the effects of administrative provisions or to do basic research. Here our clients are federal and state ministries, associations, universities and other scientific institutions such as foundations but also (multi-national) enterprises.

Every year we undertake lots of different research projects that range from regional and national studies to multinational surveys. Whereas empirical legal surveys often can be conducted within a few weeks or months studies in the field of research into legal facts might even stretch over several years.

Our researchers are legal and sociological specialists and have long-time experience in the mentioned areas as well as in general market opinion and research.
