Summary
The patenting of life forms has been subject to many forms of criticism in public debate. In this volume, Gregor Ischebeck focuses on the patentability of animals pursuant to German and EU law. In particular, he examines existing restrictions with regard to their compatibility with the protection of intellectual property and critically assesses regulatory alternatives which may achieve a better balance of interests between patentees and users of patented animals.
