This time, we focus on EU legislation and bring you articles on the progress of proposals for new laws on plants generated by new genomic techniques (NGT) and unitary Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC), as well as on the ‘long-arm’ jurisdiction of courts in the EU being established by recent case law. Additionally, MAIinsight Issue 2 offers EPO insights on when the recited purpose in a ‘method for’ claim is limiting and takes a closer look at decision T 56/21 regarding the adaptation of the description of a European patent application. And finally, we take a deep-dive into the real costs of litigation before the UPC.
