Procedural Law

This chapter discusses the procedure for filing a patent application at the European Patent Office (EPO). EPO procedure is governed by certain basic principles. No decisions may be made unless the parties have had the opportunity to comment and oral proceedings must be held if at least one party so requests. In the absence of specific provisions, the EPO shall take into account the principles of procedural law generally recognized in the contracting state. When the applicant is faced with a possible loss of rights, for example as result of an adverse decision by the EPO, he (almost) always has the possibility to recover his position. An adverse decision may also be appealed, and if the applicant has failed to act in time, options to recover include: extensions and grace periods, where provided; further processing under the European Patent Convention (EPC); restoration of rights; and requesting an appealable decision.

At present there are several international agreements made about legal patents. Among other things, the WTO Agreement on TRIPs which is followed by almost all countries.Provision of territorial patents, that is, binding only in certain locations. Thus, to obtain patents in several countries or regions, a person must request a patent application in each of these countries or regions. For Europe, anyone can submit a patent application to the European Patent Office, which if successful, the application applicant will get several patents (up to 36 patents, each for each country in Europe), as well as one patent used in the entire region.

Nowadays, biotechnologies are among the most interesting areas of science. Their development, fostered by intellectual property (IP) rights’ protection, leads to useful progress. Nonetheless, when, as with biotech inventions, environmental protection is at stake, this progress is not without controversy. The present contribution aims at examining the interferences between IP and environmental protection, as emerging in the framework of the European Patent Convention. To this extent, it will focus on the function and on the limits of the ordre public exception clause, with the purpose of suggesting a new role for science in disputes for revocation of biotech patents.

Moringa Oleifera Lam

A Moringa oleifera Lam. é uma espécie arbórea originária do noroeste indiano, cultivada graças ao seu valor alimentar, alto teor proteico, usos na medicina tradicional, indústria e tratamento de água para o consumo humano. Por apresentar tais características, a moringa tem um grande potencial para cultivo comercial. As características de adaptação climática e de solo da planta a tornam implementável como cultivo tanto em escala industrial quanto de subsistência em grandes extensões do território brasileiro. O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar os resultados de pesquisa relativos às aplicações da moringa na tecnologia de alimentos através de pedidos de patentes. Utilizou-se as bases World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Instituto Nacional de Propriedade Industrial (INPI) e European Patent Office (Espacenet). O período coberto por esta pesquisa baseia-se no período máximo permitido por cada base de dado consultada, e é corrente ao mês de outubro de 2013.
