Christophe Gösken

Christophe is a PhD Candidate at the Center for Law & Economics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He is interested in the changing nature of intellectual property and the influence of the law in the process of cultural diffusion. In his ongoing projects, he empirically analyses the use of new technologies for managing and valuing IP rights, particularly in the luxury industry. He is also investigating the legal and commercial implications of using e-commerce platforms to sell cultural property. Furthermore, he analyses consumer preferences and social norms about anti-piracy laws.

Christophe holds a Bachelor and a Master of Law from the University of Freiburg i.Üe, as well as a Certificate from Georgetown’s Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London. Prior to joining ETH, Christophe worked in major corporate law firms in Switzerland and in London, and in various telecommunication companies.
