It also addresses the implications of the upcoming Unified Patent Court. Germany’s patent system presents unique opportunities for patent holders, as well as risks for companies doing business there. Germany is one of the world’s top jurisdictions for patent enforcement because of the expertise of German courts, their unique procedures and the speed of these proceedings. Winning a patent suit in Germany is tantamount to winning the European market, and it gives the patent owner substantial leverage over opponents to achieve a worldwide settlement. In addition, suits in Germany frequently resolve well ahead of the counterpart suits in the United States, at a fraction of the cost. What’s in this book: This second edition provides an in-depth, step-by-step procedural analysis of aspects of current patent practice in Germany, including the following: Germany’s split system that bifurcates infringement from validity cases; obtaining discovery; claim construction; budgeting; implications of the upcoming new patent system, in particular the Unified Patent Court; Germany’s labor law regarding employee inventions; and customs actions. The chapters track the structure of patent disputes, starting with the overall structure of the German judicial system, followed by topics such as patentability, patent procurement, oppositions, infringement trials and customs enforcement actions. This book concludes with an extensive selection of forms and legislative material. 000041754 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$xGermany 000041754 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$xEurope 000041754 85641 $$uhttp://www.kluweriplaw.com/book-toc?title=Patents%20in%20Germany%20and%20Europe%3A%20Procurement%2C%20Enforcement%20and%20Defense%20-%20An%20International%20Handbook%20(Second%20Edition)$$yView this resource 000041754 904__ $$aBook 000041754 980__ $$aBIB
