MAIinsight Issue 2 out now!

MAIinsight is back for Issue 2!

This time, we focus on EU legislation and bring you articles on the progress of proposals for new laws on plants generated by new genomic techniques (NGT) and unitary Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC), as well as on the ‘long-arm’ jurisdiction of courts in the EU being established by recent case law. Additionally, MAIinsight Issue 2 offers EPO insights on when the recited purpose in a ‘method for’ claim is limiting and takes a closer look at decision T 56/21 regarding the adaptation of the description of a European patent application. And finally, we take a deep-dive into the real costs of litigation before the UPC.

Many thanks to all of our authors:
Dr. Regina Neuefeind, Asim Akbani,
Dr. Christian Meyer, Tobias Matschke,
Dr. Michaela Weigel-Krusemarck,
Heike Röder-Hitschke, Dr. Alexander Schmitz,
Dr. Kerstin Wolff, and Dr. Annelie Wünsche.
 
MAIinsight will appear every few months to bring you updates on major case law and practice developments across all IP-related fields in Europe.

We hope you enjoy reading the second issue!
