MIPLC 311 $a3-8487-6134-3 311 $a3-7489-0257-3 330 $aIn an increasingly harmonized global patent landscape, few issues still distinguish the US patent system as much as its strict?and often criticized?duty of candor and its inequitable conduct doctrine. The EPO and most other countries around the world impose less burdensome disclosure duties upon patent applicants. What is there to learn from the experience in the US? Have these tools resulted in any benefit worth considering? Yet regardless of the disclosure duties imposed upon patent applicants, a deceptive conduct before the Patent Office could lead to unwarranted exclusive rights and have a negative impact on competition. Should antitrust law intervene? Is it a case of sham litigation? This work attempts to answer those questions through a comparative analysis, examining the law and case law in the US and in the EU from both a patent and a competition law perspective and seeking a workable theory of harm. 610 $apharmazeutischer Patient 610 $airreführendes Verhalten 610 $aWettbewerbsrecht 610 $aPatentanmeldung 610 $aPatentamt 610 $ahigh court 610 $aSupreme Court 610 $ainequitable conduct 610 $aCompetition Law 610 $akristalline Form 610 $aPatentrecht 610 $aApotex 610 $aWalker Process 610 $atert-Butylaminsalz 610 $aduty of candor 610 $aFraud before the Patent Office 610 $aPerindopril 610 $aScheincharakter 610 $aAstraZeneca 610 $aPatent Office 610 $aServier 610 $aLJ Jacob 610 $apatent law 700 $aHoss$b Eugenio$4auth$01287687 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346833003321 996 $aDeceptive Conducts before the Patent Office$93020297 997 $aUNINA
