Taxation Of Spin-Off – U.S. And German Corporate Tax Law, Stefan W. Suchan
Taxation Of Spin-Off – U.S. And German Corporate Tax Law, Stefan W. Suchan
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
Corporate law provides for a transaction commonly referred to as “spin-off”. The corporate enterprise is divided in (at least) two corporations. The stock of a controlled subsidiary will be distributed pro rata by a parent corporation to its shareholders which end up owning a brother/sister pair of corporate enterprises.
The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) in § 355 provides special rules for the distribution of stock and securities of a controlled corporation. The transaction is known as a “D reorganization”, if such a distribution follows the transfer by a corporation of all or a part of its assets to another corporation, …
Post-Enron: U.S. And German Corporate Governance, Stefan W. Suchan
Post-Enron: U.S. And German Corporate Governance, Stefan W. Suchan
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
Only five years after Henry Hansmann and Reinier Kraakmann announced "the End of History of Corporate Law" – borrowing the words of Francis Fukuyama–, this observation seems at least questionable. Following two major failures of the “American Model” with the bankruptcy of Enron and WorldCom, the question of the "right" Corporate Governance regime is again under discussion.
Legislators around the globe assume that further development of Corporate Governance is necessary. There is consent for the need of improvement, but no clear answer on how to improve. A first step to solving the arising problems might be to evaluate the reasons …

Untaxing Taxes: An Attempt To Compare Philippine And Us Laws On Tax-Free Corporate Reorganizations, Salvador B. Belaro Jr.
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
In comparing tax-free corporate reorganizations between Philippine and US law, the author wishes to learn how the US legal system would approach similar tax situations in the Philippines so he could apply it in the practice of law. Labyrinthine as they may be, US tax rules are so well-developed that they are excellent subjects for a comparative study. This paper validates the fact that Philippine and US tax laws on tax-free corporate exchanges have a lot in common. It also shows that in a lot of areas where Philippine law is silent, US tax laws have already devoted extensive treatment …
Intellectual Property Protection In Philippine Agriculture: A Developmental Perspective, Salvador B. Belaro Jr.
Intellectual Property Protection In Philippine Agriculture: A Developmental Perspective, Salvador B. Belaro Jr.
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
This paper is premised on the debate on whether intellectual property protection furthers economic development in developing countries. One view is that more is better, arguing that intellectual property rights trigger research and technological advancement. The other view is that more means not better, but worse. Advocates of this view claim that developing countries, being "second comers" in a world where developed countries got a head start in development are confronted with rules imposed by the "first comers", intellectual property rules included, which are of course, designed by the latter to serve their interests
This note suggests two general approaches …

The Balancing Act Of Copyright: The Copyright Laws Of Australia And The United States In The Digital Era, Dilan J. Thampapillai
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
The digital era has posed a unique challenge to copyright law. The emergence of the information technology revolution and the internet has increased the ability and the willingness of copyright users to copy and distribute protected material.

Their success has prompted a strong counter reaction from copyright users and consumer groups.
This paper seeks to examine how changes to Australian and US copyright law have resulted in an imbalance between owners and users and whether the traditional safeguards of fair dealing and …
