Overview

The chemicals, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries worldwide rely upon being able to patent inventions in order to protect investment in research and development, and to reap commercial rewards. An increasingly globalised sector requires a global perspective, and this highly acclaimed book guides the reader through the legal and procedural complexities of the British, European, Japanese and US patent systems, and explains in detail the role of patent practitioners (both in-house and in private practice) in maximising the commercial potential of their client's or company's innovative products. It provides a complete description of the techniques and industry know-how that underlie successful patent practice and portfolio management.

Reviews

<br> The authors have provided not just theoretical information but practical information that can be used by practitioners and inventors alike. --Patent Baristas <br><br> Reviewing this work is a pleasure. Clear print, equally clear articulation of the law; helpful glossary; lots of examples. This book is actually of great value not just for readers with a chemi-, pharma- bio- bias but serves very well as an explanation of the operation of the patent system even for those whose interests lie in other spheres. -- IPKat <br><br>
