Patents for Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology is the established and highly-acclaimed introduction to patent law and practice, guiding the reader through the legal and procedural complexities of the British, European, Japanese, and United States patent systems. It explains in detail the role of patent practitioners, both in private practice and in-house, in maximizing the commercial potential of their company's or client's products.

The eagerly awaited new sixth edition of this highly respected text has been fully revised and updated to discuss major new developments in patent law, patent aspects of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), developments in the area of competition law and patents, and all relevant case law of the US, UK, and the European Patent Office (EPO).

This is a comprehensive and invaluable guide to this rapidly developing and increasingly globalize area of law, providing a full description of the techniques and industry know-how that underlie successful patent practice and portfolio management.
Industry Reviews
`Review from previous edition: 'The book deals with law, practice and strategy and is all the better for that...all the sectorally specific areas one would expect to be covered in a book such as this are so addressed..all in all, this is a very useful book.'' Susan Singleton, European Intellectual Property Law Review `Reviews from 4th edition: This book is a superb practical introduction to the sometimes mysterious world of patents, particularly those relating to pharmaceuticals an biotechnology ... A comprehensive overview of patent law and procedure ... a wonderful introduction to a fascinating subject and a constant source of inspiration and comfort. The fourth edition is even better and is a brilliant introduction to pharmaceutical patenting for any new entrant to the patent profession who seriously wants to learn about patenting and the pharmaceutical industry ... The value of the book is not restricted to patent practitioners. Anyone, academic scientists, industrial research worker, licensing manager, general lawyer, needing to know more about the arcane world of patents will find this an indispensable introduction ... I cannot commend this book too highly.'

The CIPA Journal sometimes mysterious world of patents, particularly those `an invaluable resource for reference as well as strategy and study'' 41 Jurimetrics `'Overall Grubb and Thomsen cover a huge number of topics... there are two extremely valuable and unique parts of the book. First is the explanation of patent laws in several countries and how they differ. The second is patent law as it relates to chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological inventions. The authors have provided not just theoretical information but practical information that can be used by practitioners and inventors alike.'' Stephen Albainy-Jenei, Patent Baristas, 2010 `An invaluable handbook for professionals in the area.' Book review: VOL 10 Issue 6 BSLR `Students in the fields of security studies and international relations, as well as practitioners, will benefit from reading this book. In particular, policymakers and strategists might evaluate ongoing efforts in places such as Libya and Afghanistan based on Gray's strategic dicta, as well as his discussion of strategic effect, or 'the cumulative and sequential impact of strategic performance upon the course of events'.' H. R. McMaster, Survival: Global Politics and Strategy (Vol. 53, No.5, Oct-Nov 2011)
