Morality in the Unitary Patent System

Joanna Wisniowska

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Under the rules of European patent law, inventions whose commercial exploitation is contrary to morality are denied exclusive protection; however, there is currently no standardised mechanism for interpreting the morality exception. In this pioneering book, Joanna Wisniowska proposes a novel method of interpreting the morality clause in European patent law.
