<i>‘If you are an IP lawyer, or academic, or possibly a graduate student in commercial, or competition law, this book will lead you down some fascinating avenues for discussion and debate on many of the critical issues now confronting patent law today.’</i>

- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine,

<i>‘The art of editing is to bring contributions together, which melt into one book. This is what Emanuela Arezzo and Gustavo Ghidini have achieved with their own critical mind by composing a book of papers, in which internationally renowned experts measure the tensions created for the patent system by the needs and problems of protecting biotechnological and software inventions. All together, they present a comparative law challenge to the very fundaments of patent protection. As such, they are or may become a “must read”.’</i>

- Hanns Ullrich, College of Europe, Bruges, Belgium,

<i>‘Arezzo and Ghidini have put together a fine collection of essays addressing developments in patent law – from general themes to emerging ones in the infotech and biotech sectors. It is notable that the international array of authors includes contributions from both established and rising young scholars, all of them ably tackling difficult issues that merit our attention.’</i>
