Description

The CIPA Guide to the Patents Acts is the leading guide to patent legislation in the UK. It features a unique section-by-section guide to the Patents Act 1977 and relevant provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, and includes the complete text of each section and of any relevant Patents Rules, Civil Procedure Rules and practice directions. Extensive commentary on the interpretation of each section by the UK-IPO and courts and on relevant case law of the EPO Appeal Boards is also provided.
 
Case law is presented in detail to help the reader see easily whether there are precedents for or against the proposition they wish to contend. It includes references to hundreds of decisions of the European Patent Office, the UK courts and the Comptroller-General, many of which have not appeared in published law reports.
