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 Diaz 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.
Industry Reviews
'This book provides a valuable contribution to the understanding of industrial application in patent law. It shows how - with the evolvement of biotechnology patent law - a formerly obscure patentability requirement became a key tool for patent law policy. A detailed discussion of the Biotechnology Directive, as well as in-depth analysis of EPO and CJEU jurisprudence, makes this book worthwhile reading for any IP lawyer concerned with patent law.' --(Herbert Zech, University of Basel, Switzerland)
