This edition's analysis sheds light on the availability of protection for second medical use claims and its legal basis, followed by a detailed look at the specifics of various jurisdictions. Following the abandoning of 'Swiss-type claims' at the European Patent Office (EPO), applicants had to develop new filing strategies while such claims are still allowable in a number of national jurisdictions worldwide; the consequences of this have not yet fully been explored in practice. Jurisdictions around the world show significant differences in the treatment of such claims, although they share common approaches in patent law overall. This second edition furnishes a detailed and elaborate analysis, providing clarity, insight and guidance on legal issues and practical implications of SMU claims in twenty-four jurisdictions (the EPO and twenty-three individual countries).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book, published under the aegis of the esteemed International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), contains a chapter-wise analysis by carefully chosen authors known for their expertise and experience in this field.
