The right to appeal exists as a response to the two main characteristics of every human being. The first refers to the attitude of not settling for adverse decisions, which leads people to seek instruments to remediate these decisions, while the second is the possibility that every human being has to make mistakes and the need to correct these mistakes in decision-making acts that may have been mistaken. Therefore, an appeal is an instrument that enables review of a decision by a higher authority to obtain its modification or revocation. In the patent system, appeals are used basically to reverse decisions of patent examiners during the examination procedure as, for example, the decision to reject a patent. Although all patent offices have procedures for appeal against first-instance decisions taken by these offices, there are significant differences as to how this procedure is conducted in each office. This chapter will study the laws and regulations, rules and procedures on appeals in two of the main patent offices in the world – the European Patent Office – EPO and the United States Patent and Trademark Office – USPTO, and in the Brazilian Patent Office – INPI, pointing out the main differences between them.

AbstractAttempts to harmonize patent laws worldwide have increased, leaving bits of argumentative issues untouched in the patent systems under scrutiny. However, diversity can sometimes prove desirable since majority rule is not always right and the minority wrong. Sometimes a part is more righteous than the whole. This research focuses on areas where the Jordan Patents of Invention Law, United States Patent Law, and the European Patent Convention intersect. It concludes that although most countries, including Jordan, follow a different path than that taken by the United States, it may be unnecessary for the United States to change its system in order to be in sync with the rest of the world. Thus, it may prove advantageous to have two separate systems that can provide different patent protections where humanity achieves progression and development.

Biodiesel Industry

The significant increase experienced by the biodiesel industry also brings with it the concomitant increase in the amount of glycerol as a by-product. In this sense, in order to avoid future problems arising from this accumulation, but also to make the production of biodiesel more competitive, it is necessary to seek economically viable solutions for the use of this by-product for applications in Brazil or even in the international market. In this context, the technological trends related to glycerol oxidation were carried out through the mapping of patents in different databases: INPI, European Patent Office (EPO), United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and revealed that there is a technological interest in the development of technology as well as found that the number of patents related to the use of electrochemical methods for the oxidation of glycerol is still little explored, consisting of opportunities for research and development with the potential to generate innovation.
