This means that all inventions made by researchers in universities belonged to the researcher himself. This is about to change. A new law, the Right to University Inventions Act, is coming into force on January 1 2007. This Act brings some radical changes into how IP rights matters are handled in Finnish universities.

  • The fate of a hair removal method patent in Europe
    About two years ago, a Board of Appeal (BoA) of the European Patent Office (EPO) issued a decision in examination appeal on the patentability of a cosmetic treatment method (T383/03).
