It explores territory that has great commercial significance and yet is severely under-explored in existing works. The twin issues of the function of patent law and interpretational analysis of the scope of protection have been recently reconsidered by the House of Lords, and this work not only reviews their recent cases but also looks at how the US, German and Japanese patent systems deal with the complex problems presented in this area. The book provides a balanced approach between practical, academic and theoretical approaches to claim interpretation. In doing so it provides more than a simple case analysis, as it enables the reader to consider the shape that the law should take rather than simply recounting the current position. Its novelty therefore lies in bringing the theoretical elements of the discussion together with the view of the profession charged with creating the patent documentation in the first place and then viewing this in the light of the detailed comparative studies. It is only by considering all of these elements that we begin to see a pathway for the development of the law in this area. This is a work that will be an important source of reference for academics and practitioners working in the field of patent law. 000023970 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation. 000023970 650_0 $$aPatents$$zLaw and Legislation. 000023970 650_4 $$aPatents 000023970 651_0 $$aLaw and Legislation$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000023970 651_0 $$aJapan$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000023970 7001_ $$aEbrary, Inc. 000023970 942__ $$cMON$$jF 40 FIS.F 000023970 952__ $$w2007-11-14$$p2007-0664$$r67.00$$u37531$$bMAIN$$10$$kF 40 FIS.F$$v2007-11-14$$zTagged$$71 000023970 980__ $$aBIB 000023970 999__ $$c26219$$d26219
