Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An entertaining legal dictionary with a difference.' – BabyBarista website 'Intellectual property has a vast, perplexing and diverse vocabulary, and this enriching Dictionary provides a starting point for understanding new concepts and crafting precise definitions to meet the needs of a particular case. . . well worth a read.' – IPKat 'Dr Groves set himself the monumental task of assembling a work that would be both a dictionary of the most important terms in intellectual property law and a ready resource for IP students and practitioners worldwide. He has succeeded admirably: his book not only covers the field but also glitters with unexpected delights (the entry on "goodwill" is a must-read). This compendium is essential for the desktop (or laptop) of anyone whose work involves intellectual property.' – Robert C. Cumbow, Graham & Dunn PC, US 'Confused between community patent review and community patents? Lost in a thicket of dockets, rocket or otherwise? Let Peter Groves' Dictionary of Intellectual Property Law be your guide. Filling almost 500 often lighthearted, occasionally acerbic, but invariably fact-packed pages, the book takes you from the ActionAid Chip and the Air Pirates case through BIRPI, Cognating, Dockets, Evergreening; Jepson, Pedrick's cat and Simkins; PHOSITA, Trundlehumpers, the verb "to Uncopyright" and X-Patents, all the way to Zwart maken. Essential reading.' – David Musker, Partner, RGC Jenkins & Co. 'Do not be put off by the word "dictionary". This is a fascinating, witty and erudite little volume, packed with interesting and useful information on the whole gamut of intellectual property. It leaves one (this one anyway) hungering for more and wanting to delve more deeply into fields that have nothing to do with earning one's daily bread.' – Tony McStea, Senior Patent Attorney, Global Patents, Givaudan Schweiz AG 'This work is splendid. As an intellectual property litigator I ask, "why did no-one do it before"? Was it for lack of the creative idea, or did no-one have the diligence and erudition of Peter Groves to perfect it? and now that it has been done, we will wonder how we managed without it.' – Jonathan Turner, Barrister Intellectual property has a vast, perplexing and diverse vocabulary, and this enriching Dictionary provides a starting point for understanding new concepts and crafting precise definitions to meet the needs of a particular case. Not only are new words and phrases being coined as technology changes and the law follows, but also the international scope of intellectual property means that IP lawyers will encounter foreign words and phrases. With over 1000 expressions defined clearly and entertainingly, this book should be the first reference point to understanding intellectual property terminology. It will be particularly helpful to practitioners when they encounter expressions they have not seen before which they need to understand the true meaning and definition of. Students finding unfamiliar terminology and concepts will also appreciate the instant explanation available from this essential resource.

Download or read book Interpreting Patent Claims The United States Germany and Japan written by Toshiko Takenaka and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1995-10-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patents have become a vital tool in the international exploitation of advancing technologies. There is no issue of greater significance to patent law than the interpretation of claims, since these measure the scope of protection granted. This study analyzes patent claim interpretation in three leading jurisdictions, the United States, Germany and Japan. Starting from well-established concepts such as literal infringement, the doctrine of equivalents and prosecution history estoppel, the author demonstrates significant differences in their application by reference to case examples. These differences are explained in historical and policy terms. The need for a clear-cut, harmonized standard of claim interpretation throughout the world is urgent. As an aid towards that goal, the final chapter of this study contains a proposal for aligning still divergent legal principles. Interpreting Patent Claims takes its place alongside two other studies of related aspects of patent rights in the IIC Studies Series: Benyamini's Patent Infringement in the European Community (Vol. 13, 1993) and Gilat's Experimental Use and Patents (Vol. 16, 1995). Together these objective and informed discussion form an essential contribution to debates on central issues of intellectual property law and policy.

Download or read book A Patent System for the 21st Century written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.

Download or read book Patent Protection for Second Medical Uses written by Jochen Bühling and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AIPPI Series, Volume Number 2. The second edition of Patent Protection for Second Medical Uses is a practical guide on the ever-relevant and controversial topic ‘Second Medical Use’ (SMU) patents, which play a significant role in the potential second-line patent protection and have become increasingly important. This edition’s analysis sheds light on the availability of protection for second medical use claims and its legal basis, followed by a detailed look at the specifics of various jurisdictions. Following the abandoning of ‘Swiss-type claims’ at the European Patent Office (EPO), applicants had to develop new filing strategies while such claims are still allowable in a number of national jurisdictions worldwide; the consequences of this have not yet fully been explored in practice. Jurisdictions around the world show significant differences in the treatment of such claims, although they share common approaches in patent law overall. This second edition furnishes a detailed and elaborate analysis, providing clarity, insight and guidance on legal issues and practical implications of SMU claims in twenty-four jurisdictions (the EPO and twenty-three individual countries). What’s in this book: This book, published under the aegis of the esteemed International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), contains a chapter-wise analysis by carefully chosen authors known for their expertise and experience in this field. Each chapter highlights such issues and topics as the following: availability and scope of protection; validity of claims; enforcement; infringement and investigations; and procedural aspects and tactical recommendations. The AIPPI studied certain aspects of second medical use claims on the occasion of its Congress in Toronto in 2014. This led to its Resolution Q 238 – ‘Second medical use and other second indication claims’, which triggered this comparative law analysis and a copy of which is found at the end of this book. How this will help you: This book is an enlightening compendium of contributions from across the globe. It not only renders guidance to interested legal practitioners when filing a patent application and assessing risks of conflict with existing patents or patent applications but also explains the key issues and contains practical advice when enforcing such claims or defending against an action. Also, this book will prove to be of immense practical interest for patent lawyers and patent attorneys and for the industries involved, applicants for pharmaceutical patents and third parties.
