Klappentext This book provides a critical analysis of legal conceptions of the invention in UK patent law and under the European Patent Convention. A central theme of the book is that the requirement for an invention, properly construed, sets the boundaries of the patent system in two ways. The first is by defining the categories of subject matter capable of supporting a patent, and the second is by restricting the protection conferred by a patent to individual subject matterconceived qua invention. Zusammenfassung This book offers a critical analysis of the concept of inherent patentability in international and European law, focusing specifically on TRIPS, the European Patent Convention, relevant EU legislation, and the national laws of Germany and the United Kingdom.
