This book again attempts to provide an overview of the jurisdiction of the EPO and the USPTO and United States courts. This time, there also is a Japanese co-author who has contributed an overview over Japanese biotech patent practice. The Japanese contribution indicates that the Japanese practice is more similar to the EPO's practice than to the US practice, although the written description requirement is now also rather restrictively applied in Japan. In view of its detailed content and insight into recent developments at the EPO and in the US and Japan, this book is especially useful for patent practitioners in industry and private practice who want to be prepared when writing their patent applications for international filing, prosecution, litigation, interference and opposition proceedings (which also exist in Japan and which may also be forthcoming in the US) but also useful for beginners in the field.
