Editorial Reviews
Review
"Dr. Grubb thoroughly exposes the patent system in a way with which few of his professional peers will quarrel, and his book should be in every chemical/biological patent department library."-- European Intellectual Property Review
".this is a broad ranging and lucid explanation, giving a clear overview of patent systems in different jurisdictions, yet packed with a wealth of detail the strength of Mr. Grubb's work lies in its breadth of vision and the clarity with which it reveals the workings of patent systems. It would be a welcome addition to the libraries of scientists and patent practitioners in the field."--
atent World
"[A] sterling feature of this work is its truly global perspective"-- Journal of the Patent and Trademark Office Society

This review is from: Patents for Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology: Fundamentals of Global Law, Practice and Strategy (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding reference for the researcher and patent attorney alike. The book provides a solid overview of patent law in the major markets, with emphasis on pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechhnology patents. What distinguishes this book from others in its class, however, is the emphasis on practical and strategic aspects of patent filing and enforcement. The author has a lifetime's worth of experience in this field, and it shows. Moreover, the book is uncommonly well-written, with clarity and occassional humor. Highly recommmended!

This review is from: Patents for Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnology: Fundamentals of Global Law, Practice and Strategy (Hardcover)
This is quite simply the best general work on patent law and practice I've ever read. Presented in clear, crisp language and with wit and flair, it is essential reading for anyone in the patent and allied professions and I would suggest mandatory reading for any students.
