This is also not correct! At least from my experience, the restriction also persists on being bought! The difference between being bought and merged is, at least from German legal point of view, that in a merge (=Verschmelzung) the $OLD company does not exist any longer but becomes fully integrated into $NEW company, while in buying a company, $OLD stays it's own legal entit y. >From my experience ONLY A MERGE IS accepted by RIPE to not apply 24month restriction, while being bought does not shorten this restrictio n.
