Lords of the Harvest takes an in depth
and non-partisan look into the rise of biotechnology. A key part in
the development of this industry regarded patents in both the EU and
America.
The European patent office, because
it grants patents strictly based on who files an application first,
awarded inventorship rights to Schell's group. In the United States,
which awards patents based on who has first invented something....
Although this fact is somewhat well
known as a result of Einstein (some accuse him of taking advantage of
his position as a clerk in a Swiss patent office) but is still a very
interesting fact. I am curious as how other countries around the
world go about issuing patents...anyone with any experience?
