Reviews

The book should therefore prove to be interesting reading and even a bookshelf staple for anyone with an interest in intellectual property in the life sciences.
*Chartered and European Patent Attorney and Partner, Potter Clarkson LLP*

An excellent book providing guidance on the intellectual property issues affecting the life science sector.
*JIPR*

This publication is clearly written and would be a valuable resource to a practitioner in the field.
*PLC Magazine*

A unique and fascinating feature of this compact and accessible book lies in how it provides comparative insights, across all those jurisdictions, into many of the “hot topics” that are attracting interest in the field, highlighting the diversity of approach that the same issue can attract.
