Description

"This is the eagerly awaited sixth edition of Philip Grubb's highly respected text on patent law and practice. It has been fully revised and updated to discuss major new development in patent law, patent aspects of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), developments in the area of competition law and patents, and all relevant case law of the US, UK, and the European Patent Office (EPO). An increasingly globalized sector requires a global perspective, and this text guides the reader through the legal and procedural complexities of the British, European, Japanese, and United States patent systems. It explains in detail the role of patent practitioners, both in private practice and in-house, in maximizing the commercial potential of their company's or client's products. Patents for Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotechnology provides a full description of the techniques and industry know-how that underlie successful patent practice and portfolio management. With its lucid and accessible presentation and practical approach, this book is an invaluable resource for patent agents, patent attorneys, solicitors, and barristers working in patent and intellectual property law worldwide; also scientists, researchers, and managers in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology industries. This book will be particularly useful for trainees and new entrants to the patent profession"--Unedited summary from book jacket.
