      abstract = {This book 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: The Requirement of Industrial  Application 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. This requirement has taken a prominent role  within DNA patenting decisions in Europe since the 1998  Biotech Directive, which Dr Díaz Pozo argues has worked  efficiently to control claims to human gene sequences and  encouraged progress in genetic research. A broad selection  of decisions on the patentability of DNA in both European  Union and US courts is discussed, emphasizing the mirroring  of the European approach in US cases.  Academics and  students of patent law and biotechnology innovation, as  well as policy formulators, will find this book of great  interest and value. Activists and practitioners interested  in the patentability of human gene inventions in Europe and  the US will also benefit from this original work.},
