Patenting in Biotechnology

Patenting in Biotechnology, a laboratory manual is a down-to-earth approach to teaching intellectual property rights in biotechnology. 

It covers the bare essentials of intellectual property rights that the biotechnologist needs and nothing more. Focus is on practical skills: how to search for patents and applications, follow application through the patenting system in Europe and the USA; and how to read and analyze patents, which hopefully will lead to writing better patent applications.

Two young biotechnologists, created by artist Panny Kondor, are recurrent figures throughout the book where they sprinkle in advice, viewpoints and act out examples in a light-hearthed manner. 

They are shown on the left accompanied by some famous characters, and to the far right, by the author. Their participation was made possible by a grant from Young Enterprise Danmark.
