In many jurisdictions, IP rights are only granted after a thorough examination of formal and substantive requirements. The EPO-EPC Guidelines for Examination (available at www.epo.org) detail the practice and procedure to be followed when examining patent applications before the European Patent Office (EPO) in accordance with the European Patent Convention (EPC) and its Implementing Regulations. Our Indexed version improves on the official version by abbreviating entries and grouping the entries at the front to allow quick scanning, using page numbers to speed up getting to the correct page, indicating sections with significant changes in the last 3 years, and modifying the contents to fully use the page size to give better overviews of paragraphs. This book is suitable as a desktop reference for everyday use by attorneys and administrators. IP law is highly complex and continuously changing, so always double check the status with the latest official resources - this version is expected to be legally valid from 1 Mar 2021 to 28 Feb 2022. This book is also suitable for anyone studying European Patent Law and exam candidates. For European Qualifying Exam (EQE) candidates, this is the official version for EQE 2022 Main Exam & Pre-Exam.

The book’s primary intention is to serve as a roadmap for professionals working in developing countries interested in the Nexus Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems (WEFE) approach. The book shows a multi-disciplinary approach, showcasing the importance of the proper use of Nexus WEFE when implementing certain development programs in regions around the globe. It can be presented as a manual for an individual that either wishes to implement intervention projects following the NEXUS approach or students interested in cooperation and development. The book begins with a general explanation of the theoretical concepts and implementation processes of Nexus WEFE and continues getting into case studies, explaining the importance of proper implementation and potential drawbacks and solutions to them. This book has a particular focus on the European Union cooperation policies when implementing such an approach in developing countries.

ISBN: 3039283103

Viruses in the Parvoviridae family constitute one of the most diverse and intriguing fields of research. While they all share an ssDNA genome and a small capsid, they can differ widely in structure, genome organization and expression, virus–cell interaction, and impact on the host. Exploring such diversity and unraveling the inherent complexity in these apparently simple viruses is an ongoing endeavor and commitment for the scientific community. The translational implications of research on parvoviruses are relevant. Within the family, some viruses are important human and veterinary pathogens, in need of diagnostic methods and antiviral strategies; other viruses have long been studied and engineered as tools for oncolytic therapy, or as sophisticated gene delivery vectors, and can now display their wide and expanding applicative potential. This Special Issue of Viruses collects recent contributions in the field of parvovirus research, with a focus on new insights and research on unresolved issues, as well as new approaches exploiting systemic methodologies. Evolution, structural biology, viral replication, virus–host interaction, pathogenesis and immunity, and viral oncotherapy are a selection of the topics addressed in the issue that can be of relevance to the community involved in parvovirus research and of interest to a wider audience.

In this collection of CUDES 2017, wide spectrum of topics that occupy primary place in the current debates of International Relations and Law were addressed by the papers presented at the Current Debates in Social Sciences Conference which was held in İstanbul, on December 14-16, 2017. The purpose of this conference was to provide a forum for scholars, researchers and students to foster discussion and expand understanding on the current themes of Social Sciences. In parallel to changing and multiplying dynamics of world politics, papers reflect diversity of issues in International Relations and Law including: the impacts of the Syrian Refugee Crisis on EU-Turkey relations, lone wolf terrorism, energy security, Russia’s domestic factors in its foreign policy, foreign policy of Iran and Russia in the Middle East, Mirziyoyev’s first year in presidency, Turkish foreign aid under the Justice and Development Party, the place of civil aviation in Turkish foreign policy as a soft power instrument, the Kosovo intervention in the context of UN’s human security discourse, UN and gender issues, mediation in international law and Turkey, the development of good corporate governance in Turkey, Ombudsman institution in Turkey, the status of surviving spouse in terms of law of succession and the regime of participation in acquired property in Turkey, legitimacy of censorship in the West from the perspective of human rights, intellectual property protection for plant innovation, legal framework of ‘autonomy in modern liberal eugenics’, the impact of the new technologies on the law.

In the year 1990, when the rest of the world was fast asleep, oblivious to the dangers of Islam, and figures like Geert Wilders and Marie le Pen were still un-germinated seeds, a Dutch Muslim immigrant had already written a book, under the pseudonym Mohamed Rasoel, warning Europeans about the dangers that come with the open-door immigration policy. Immediately upon its publication, the book created a firestorm, making it the most discussed issue in the country (TV, newspapers and magazines), as reprints of the book sold out within days, until the left-wing government panicked and banned the book. The author went into hiding under police protection, but was taken to court by the Anne Frank Foundation, charged with discrimination, and fined 4000 dollars. Many years later, in 2003, a language professor, T.A. van Dijk, who did a thorough research into the book, wrote a 250 pages book, arguing that the book had not been written by Rasoel, but by a highly respected writer Gerrit Komrij, who in return wrote a 40 pages book, denying the accusations and taking van Dijk to court. The book gained further popularity when, in 2007, the Dutch right-wing party leader Geert Wilders proposed to the parliament that the book be distributed in all secondary schools. Since then, many other authors have also referred to its contents, in books such as Western Europe and its Islam, Defeating Eurabia, and Difference Diffidence Threat. About the contents: with almost every prediction in the book having come true, the author warns that immigrants arrive carrying the same mentality that created the situations they fled from in the first place, only to recreate the same situations in Europe. Furthermore, the book proposes that the outcome of the volatile situation in Europe can either be a civil war, or the sacrificing of parts of Europe and bestowing them to the Muslims. Although the book refers mainly to the Netherlands, it applies to other European countries as well, of course. It is amazing though how everything being said today about Islam had already been said three decades ago, along with many other amazing arguments that people haven't yet considered. This book was translated from Dutch to English, without the authorization of the author, whose whereabouts and true identity are still a mystery.

The blurring of boundaries between hitherto distinct scientific disciplines, technologies or markets is a common and powerful phenomenon. Subjects of this convergence often change consumer behaviours, favouring products and platforms with multiple functions. The Anticipation of Converging Industries provides a detailed focus on the triggers, drivers and consequences of convergence to create a more concise definition of convergence. This detailed analysis includes a specifically developed toolbox for ‘convergence foresight’, creating a forecasting method for convergence trends. With the focus on the chemical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries, several indicators of convergence in the areas of Nutraceuticals/Functional Foods, Cosmeceuticals and ICT are derived from samples including over 1million patents and scientific publications. By supporting this methodical approach with real world data, The Anticipation of Converging Industries is perfect for industry practitioners looking for a competitive edge in the present and for the future. Similarly, academics will find a comprehensive theoretical concept for better understanding the underlying rationale of convergence at their disposal
