The CIPA Guide to the Patents Acts is a detailed, practical guide to all aspects of patent law in the UK. The book's emphasis is on the practice of patent law. Taking a clause-by-clause approach to all relevant patent legislation, it clearly explains the impact of each part of every Act.

Case law is presented in detail to help the reader see easily whether there are precedents for or against the proposition they wish to contend. It includes references to hundreds of decisions of the European Patent Office, the UK courts and the Comptroller-General, many of which have not appeared in published law reports.
