    Researchers at universities and polytechnics in Finland have previously had lots of freedom relating to inventions and IP rights.

  • 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).
