'The book is explaining in detail the current discussion regarding the
unification of European patent law. It explains the current national
legal practices in Europe, describing the legal and factual issues and
the different approaches to achieve unification. The book manages
to show the complex situation and the different opinions from the
beginning of the discussion in a clear and comprehensive manner
without requiring previous knowledge of the reader and is therefore
to be recommended for everyone interested.
'
- Jochen Pagenberg,
LL.M. Harvard, President EPLAW, Germany
and Thomas Schachl, LL.M., Attorney-at-law, Germany
In his detailed study, Stefan Luginbuehi critically examines the latest
efforts to establish a common European and
EU
patent litigation
system and suggests possible alternatives to such a system.
Due to the lack of a European patent court, both the
ЕРО
and
national judges interpret European patents and European patent
law. This results in diverging interpretation across Europe and
costly litigation for patent holders. Stefan Luginbuehl's proposals to
promote the goal of a uniform interpretation of patent law and ease
the difficulties are timely and highly insightful.
Dealing with important legal and political issues related to
European patent litigation and the establishment of a common
patent litigation system, this book will appeal to practitioners,
patent litigators, patent attorneys and judges specialised in patent
litigation. Academics teaching and learning IP (patent law), private
international law, or international civil procedure, will find this study
interesting as the book deals with important aspects of national and
international patent litigation, as well as procedural and structural
questions related to the establishment of a patent court for Europe.
Stefan Luginbuehi, PhD is a Lawyer at the European Patent Office,
Germany.
