Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book provides a highly structured analysis of European patent law and procedure (including practice under the PCT) that combines detail and accuracy with conciseness of expression. It will be welcomed by experienced European patent practitioners as a first point of reference, and by practitioners outside Europe seeking a concise guide to the European patent system. It is ideal for use by trainee patent attorneys preparing for their European examinations. The book has had two previous highly successful editions in the German language. This first English edition has been translated and fully updated by Ian Muir, an experienced practitioner and EPA examiner. Particular attention has been paid to its internal layout to make information as readily accessible as possible.
