Reviews

The book adds an original in-depth contribution to the cause of the 'happy few' who contrast the diffused over-protectionist approaches to the interpretation of IP law. It is a welcome manifesto that emphasizes how only in a balanced perspective IP can best achieve its historic fundamental goal 'to promote the progress of science and useful arts'. * Gustavo Ghidini, Senior Professor of IP and Competition Law, Luiss University, Italy * This book is unique in its approach and analysis: it illustrates situations of excessive claims and decisions that interfere with third parties' legitimate rights and deny the fundamental public policy principles that underpin the grant of such protection. The refined legal analyses of these cases provide invaluable lessons for policy makers, scholars, practitioners and the judiciary. Importantly, they tell us how to prevent the misuse of the law and its ensuing undue social and economic costs. * Carlos Correa, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina *
