摘要:Let me “warn” the reader that the title of the book is misleading: the book deals with more than what is stated in the title. From the first chapter, I understood that the author was to explore issues relating to the scope of patenting in the UK. However, the chapter on the British tradition and claim theory read more like a chapter on legal history than on the narrow scope envisaged by the author. This was followed by an excellent introduction to the history of the patent system – again leaving me to wonder what exactly the author was trying to achieve by entitling this book Fundamentals of Patent Law. The author then takes us from history to economics, making us wonder once again whether this was a book that examines patent law from a multi-disciplinary perspective.
