Internet: A place for patent retrieval
Countries design patent laws according to their respective economic interest. Before one files intellectual property one should know the regimes under which his intellectual property is placed. Intellectual properties are always of intense debate. The basic reason for the controversies is due to lack of transdisciplinary approaches to address patent concepts. In this present mini-review, we are presenting some web links that will help any researcher to get acquainted with the rules and regulation of filling an intellectual property of some countries as internet is now viewed as the place form where retrieval of information is possible with in seconds.
International patent protection: 1960–2005
Research Policy, 2008
This note provides an update to the index of patent protection published in this journal in 1997. The original paper presented the index for 1960-1990 for 110 countries. The index has now been updated to 2005 and extended to 122 countries. The adoption of stronger patent laws and the composition of patent rights vary across countries by level of economic development.
10. Patent regimes and the application process
Oxford University Press eBooks, 2019
This chapter assesses the rationales and justifications commonly seen for and against patents, which inform all aspects of patent law. Against this backdrop, the chapter explains the architecture and procedures of contemporary patent systems as they operate in the UK, within the European patent system, and through international agreements, instruments, and procedures.

Unlike copyright-and like registered trade marks and registered designs-patent protection is a registered right, granted by an intellectual property office following an application and examination process. The chapter also reviews changes over time and areas of particular debate and possible future evolution.

Patents are a key element of our knowledge based economy. They are meant to operate as an instrument for fostering innovation by generating incentives through the grant of temporary exclusive rights. The present paper starts by describing some major trends in patent law and practice and throws some light on the concerns to which modern patent law gives rise: extension of patentable subject matter, growing attention for patent quality, appearance of patent thickets and restrictive licensing practices, emergence of governance issues such as the North-South divide, increasing influence of “epistemic communities�?, as well as an enlarged role of ethics and of human rights. Some of these trends have led to serious concerns with regard to current patent law and practice and urged competent authorities to launch a patent reform debate (Chapter 1). In aiming at a better comprehension of these trends and concerns, an analytical model has been deployed revolving around the objectives and func...
