Patent law harmonization has always been a tool to respond to challenges that requires international solutions. This chapter reviews the historical development of harmonization of patent law from the perspective of what is codified in the international agreements, and what has been left out for countries to use their flexibilities in fine-tuning their legislation. Beyond the international treaties concluded in the auspices of WIPO and WTO, this chapter also illustrates unilateral and bilateral initiatives that have facilitated international harmonization of patent law. Recently, cooperation among patent offices is more oriented to practical measures that do not involve normative changes, but assist applicants to obtain patent protection in multiple jurisdictions and improve the quality and efficiency of the operation of patent offices. 000048727 650_0 $$aPatents. 000048727 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000048727 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation. 000048727 650_0 $$aPatent offices. 000048727 650_0 $$aPatents (International law) 000048727 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000048727 7001_ $$aMiyamoto, Tomoko,$$eauthor. 000048727 77308 $$aTakenaka, Toshiko (ed) :$$tResearch Handbook on Patent Law and Theory, 2019.$$gp. 27-54. 000048727 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/edcollchap/edcoll/9781785364112/9781785364112.00010.xml$$yView article 000048727 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/edcollbook/edcoll/9781785364112/9781785364112.xml$$yView eBook 000048727 904__ $$aBook chapter 000048727 980__ $$aOS
