EPO and Living Inventions
Congratulations to our very own Kati McClatchey on the publication of yet another article entitled THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE AND THE EUROPEAN PATENT: AN OPEN AVENUE FOR BIOTECHNOLOGISTS AND "LIVING INVENTIONS."
Kati discusses "the function and jurisdiction of the European Patent Convention (EPC) treaty and the European Patent Office (EPO) that the treaty established. The EPO issues a single patent that is enforceable in as many countries as the applicant wishes to designate. This makes obtaining patent protection in many European countries not only possible but extremely efficient as well. While the requirements for a European patent are similar to the requirements for a United States patent, Ms. McClatchey highlights some important distinctions of which biotechnologists should be aware."
