      abstract = {In today’s technological world, biotechnology is one of  the most innovative and highly invested-in industries for  research, in the field of science. This book analyses the  forms and limitations of patent protection recognition for  biotechnological inventions, with particular regard to  patentability of life.  The author expertly compares the  United States model, traditionally based on technical  evaluations, with the European model, inspired by  fundamental rights and bioethics. He highlights how the  regulation of biotechnological inventions should guarantee  a fair balance between protection of investment and access  to information, which is essential for further research and  innovation.  Academics and practitioners dealing with  intellectual property, patent law and biotechnological  inventions will find this book to be of interest. The  topics discussed will also be useful for patent offices and  medical institutions, as well as medical researchers.},
