A well-functioning patent system must provide incentives for innovation, safeguard dynamic competition and protect the public interest - a balancing act fraught with difficulty in the 'connected' global world. This ground-breaking book is the first to deeply analyse how patent law today performs its function of stimulating innovation in the crucial sectors of healthcare, agriculture, artificial intelligence and communications technology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatent specialists, practitioners and scholars from various jurisdictions thoroughly describe how patent rights can be deployed to incentivize investments in researching and developing socially critical innovations without sacrificing the public's interest in sharing the benefits that are produced. Among the emerging issues of patent rights investigated are the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eprotectability and morality of according private rights over material derived from the human body;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003elicensing on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe supplementary protection certificate (SPC) manufacturing waiver;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epatent eligibility of artificial intelligence-related inventions;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eexcessive enforcement of patents by patent assertion entities;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eenforcement of second medical use innovations;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe so-called farmer's privilege, the farm-save seed exemption, and breeders' rights;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003einternational trade regulations and their influence on patent systems;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehuman enhancement technologies and the consequences of patenting them;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003especifics of patent protection for biologic medicines;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003echallenges posed by artificial intelligence for the disclosure requirement in patent law; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003estandard essential patent licensing, particularly in the context of the 5G standard.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePerspectives taken into consideration by the authors include protectability criteria, length and scope of the granted protection, mechanisms for dealing with the friction between generalized application and specialized concerns, and rights enforcement.
