Alerting you to the latest decisions shaping European patent law
The nature of IP law in Europe is changing rapidly. Increased harmonization of
EU law means you can no longer rely solely on national case law to guarantee
success in court. But how do you ensure you have up-to-date and dependable
access to the most important cases in a language you may not be familiar with?
The answer is Kluwer EU Patent Cases. Kluwer EU Patent Cases is
a new online service reporting on significant patent cases across Europe.
Consisting of an email newsletter and a fully searchable database, Kluwer

arguments before your own national court

EU member states
Experts from 28 European states report on national cases of cross-border
interest. Summaries and case notes are delivered by email, ensuring you are
kept fully apprised of the latest case law. The case law database is updated
weekly. Fully searchable, by jurisdiction, court, key word and much more,
Kluwer EU Patent Cases will quickly become an essential part of your case
research.
