'Ventose makes a fresh, lively and incredibly thorough contribution
to the literature in this work. He canvasses the European, English
and American authorities in a systematic, methodical and - dare I
say - surgical manner. The book is a 'must read' for practitioners,
academics and students alike interested in patentable subject
matter, public policy and medico-legal ethics. It will be a welcome
addition to any legal collection.' Emir Aly, University of Windsor,
Barrister & Solicitor, Law Society of Upper Canada and
Co-Founder and Co-Chair, Harold G. Fox Intellectual Property Moot
'Medical patents are a matter of life and death. Such patents have
a critical impact upon patient care, medical research, and the
administration of healthcare (and, indeed, are in part responsible
for ballooning health care budgets). This comprehensive book by
Eddy D. Ventose provides a systematic comparative analysis of
medical patents. The work explores the historical taboo against
patenting methods of human treatment; charts the spectrum of policy
positions on medical patents, ranging from permissive to
prohibitive; and examines contemporary battles over patenting
methods of medical correlation in the Supreme Court of United
States.' Matthew Rimmer, The Australian National University College
of Law and ACIPA, Australia This book provides a detailed and
comparative examination of medical patent law and the issues at the
heart of the medical treatment exclusion for therapeutic
treatments, surgical treatments and diagnostic methods. It first
considers the historical basis for exclusion and the development of
law and policy in Europe, the United States and other commonwealth
countries. The book goes on to provide a detailed analysis of the
issues related to new medical technologies, such as gene therapy,
dosage regimes, and medical diagnostics, in light of the medical
treatment exclusion. Medical Patent Law will strongly appeal to
patent agents and attorneys, solicitors and barristers working in
patent and intellectual property law and medical law worldwide, as
well as medical practitioners and healthcare professionals;
scientists, researchers and managers in the chemicals, medical;
pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. Postgraduates on LLM
medical law and intellectual property courses and academics
specializing in medical law or patent law, will also find much to
interest them.
