The Pastors Report 2014: now published

The SPC Blog is once again delighted to inform readers that our good friend Alice de Pastors has produced yet another of her excellent reports: SPC News 28 – September 2014 is now available to read here or to download here.  As usual, it's full of information which includes statistics on SPC applications in Europe between 1991 and December 2013.  A sample table is shown above.

Alice adds that it also notes discrepancies in SPC protection in European countries which are due to differences in interpretation of the EC Regulation and/or in policy as between national patent offices.

Thanks, Alice! Your efforts are much appreciated.
