Reviews

'The appropriate protection of biotechnological inventions and the so called patentability of life are one of the most crucial questions of modern intellectual property. It is also one of the most debated, as it involves not only complex legal issues but raises high social, ethical and even sometimes religious concerns. Professor Stazi's book is a thus a very timely contribution, managing the tour de force of combining serious and comparative doctrinal analysis of the criteria (and the limits) of patentability, while at the same time offering a good overview of the challenges with regard to bioethics and fundamental rights. Without any doubt, this volume will enrich the already excellent series on New directions in Patent law.' - Christophe Geiger, CEIPI, University of Strasbourg, France
