Patenting the Recombinant Products of Biotechnology and Other Molecules

Mehr zum Buch

This work examines the requirements for patentability in the context of biotechnology, with a special focus on the non-obviousness requirement. It analyses non-obviousness as applied to biotechnology molecular products via a review of the relevant case law. The work begins with a typology of recombinant inventions, useful in determining ultimate non-obviousness and patentability. It distinguishes three categories of recombinant
