Board Resolution of November 17, 2009 Re New Corporate Identity
Recent events have shown that the IPF-Institute for practice based research working autonomously and independently of other institutions and companies which have also operated under the single brand name “ipf” has pursued different goals, but because of the brand name was often not properly understood in its independency.
On account of this, the board of the IPF-Institute has agreed to relinquish its rights to the brand name “ipf” and to apprise the institutions and companies which will continue to operate under this name (ipf-Verein, ipf-group, ipf-Multiversity) as well as third parties of this step.
As part of this process, the board has also agreed that, effective on and from January 1, 2010, the institute will operate under a new corporate identity, including changing its logo and desisting from using the acronym IPF in its new name. These steps are deemed necessary in order to avoid confusion with institutions which will continue to operate under the brand name “ipf” as well as to position the Institut für Praxisforschung as an autonomous institution.
The board would like to emphasize that the new corporate identity will in no way affect the general philosophy as well as the day-to-day operation of the institute. Ongoing projects will be completed according to the set schedule.
In the name of the Board Members:
Dr. Thomas Stöckli, Director of the Institute
