The Requirement for an Invention in Patent Law provides a critical
analysis of legal conceptions of the invention in UK patent law and
under the European Patent Convention. Dr Justine Pila brings to
this text her extensive experience in intellectual property law.
A central theme of the book is that the requirement for an
invention, properly construed, sets the boundaries of the patent
system in two ways. The first is by defining the categories of
subject matters capable of supporting a patent, and the second is
by restricting the protection conferred by a patent to individual
subject matters conceived qua inventions. In serving these
functions, the requirement for an invention helps to fulfil the
public benefit objectives of the patent system by mediating the
balance struck by patents between individual patentees and the
public.
This book offers an analysis of legal conceptions of the invention
in UK patent law and their development from before the first patent
legislation of 1623 through the patent system's recent phase of
Europeanization. It includes a detailed study of the contemporary
(EPC) requirement for an invention and its construction by the
European Patent Office, and an analysis of the legal and policy
issues which that construction raises. It also places the UK and
EPC law in its interpretive context, including its international
statutory context, and offers a detailed account of international
law-making in the field of patents.
The Requirement for an Invention in Patent Law is an indispensible
reference text for students and academics of intellectual property
law in general and contemporary patent law in particular, and will
appeal to anyone interested in Europeanization, international
patent law and harmonization, and the history of the UK patent
system. Its elucidation of this complex area also makes it an
excellent guide for practitioners.
