"Kommt es im Rahmen dieser Kooperationsvereinbarung zum Entstehen einer Dissertation, so ist der Dissertant von jenem Partner, der ihn anstellt, zu verpflichten, für seine Dissertation eine Sperre für die gesetzlich zulässige Höchstdauer zu beantragen."

I know what it means, but is there a specific term for a Sperre when applied to a dissertation?

embargo (on publication)

.
Note from asker:
Although I think you might be right, your reference does not seem to inlcude the word embargo (nor am I convinced that Leo is a reliable source).
But: a quick Google search provides some very convincing support for embargo. THANKS!

confidentiality / non-divulgence

...shall pledge to the commissioning party confidentiality of his dissertation by way of petitioning for non-divulgence extending over the maximum time permissible by law
Note from asker:
"petitioning for non-divulgence"?? He's not beign required to petition; he simply has to state to his university authorities that the diss. must not be published.

Non-disclosure

commonly used
Note from asker:
While the writer of the diss must agree to non disclosure, the sperre is actually imposed by the university, and hence this doesn't work here.
