In Europe, this situation has engendered patent law reforms which, after several years of struggling, seem to have finally concretized in the Agreement on the Unitary Patent and the Unified Patent Court signed by twenty-five EU Member States in February 2013 (the so-called EU Patent Package). In this ground-breaking book derived from the work of the highly respected and penetrating PatLim project in Finland nineteen prominent experts explore issues arising in the context of the emerging European patent system. The book analyses how substantive and procedural patent law rules in highly complex technologies interact within each other's frameworks and within the overall IP framework, as well as within the frameworks of other intellectual property rights and other fields of law, such as competition law.--}, recid = {27640}, pages = {xx, 329 pages ;}, }
