Conclusion. 330 $aExclusions from Patentability reviews the history of the adoption of exclusions from patentability under the European Patent Convention since its first conception in 1949 through to its most recent revision. The analysis shows how other intellectual property treaties, such as UPOV, the Strasbourg Patent Convention, PCT, the EU Biotech Directive and TRIPS have affected the framing of the exclusions. Particular attention is given to those exclusions considered the most contentious (computer programmes, discoveries, medical treatments, life forms and agriculture) and those decisions which have been most influential in shaping the approaches by which the exclusions have been interpreted. The 'morality' exclusion and the interpretation of the exclusions are discussed critically and suggestions for coherent interpretation are made. 410 0$aCambridge intellectual property and information law ;$v19. 606 $aPatent laws and legislation$zEurope 615 0$aPatent laws and legislation 676 $a346.2404/86 686 $aLAW050000$2bisacsh 700 $aSterckx$b Sigrid$01512403 702 $aCockbain$b Julian 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779479403321 996 $aExclusions from patentability$93746271 997 $aUNINA
