LOC classification:
  • K1519.B54
Contents:
1.Introduction -- 2.Genetic inventions and patent law in Europe -- 3.The European requirement of industrial application -- 4.The industrial applicability of human genetic interventions -- 5.The requirement of industrial applicaiton and the determination of the exclusion of human genetic discoveries from patent protection -- 6.The requirement of industrial application and the determination of the scope of protection of gene patents --7.Human gene patents, patent clusters and innovative progress -- 8.Conclusion.
Summary: This text constitutes a fascinating and in-depth analysis of the significance of the requirement of industrial application within gene patenting and how this influences innovation in Europe and the US. The author addresses an area normally overlooked in biotechnology patenting due to the predominance of the ethical debate and, in doing so, produces a unique approach to dealing with concerns in this field. 'Patenting Genes' is the result of extensive research into the legal history of the industrial application requirement as well as exploration of the broad range of decisions on DNA patentability.
