“Notices from German Patent Lawyers”: Dr Jan B. Kraus on the decisions G1/08 and G2/07.
BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partner Dr Jan Krauss contributed an article entitled “What are <essentially biological procedures>?” in the current edition 06/2011 of the specialist magazine “Mitteilungen Deutscher Patentanwälte” and comments on the decisions G1/08 and G2/07. These decisions centred on the clarification of the term “essentially biological procedures” used in the European Patent Convention, for example, to exclude procedures for the growing of plants from patentability.
