• Resumen

  • Patents play an important role in translating basic research results into innovative processes and products. An optimal functioning of this translational process requires legal, in particular patent law ramifications meeting specific needs of basic research as generator and disseminator of new, cutting-edge knowledge. This contribution analyses, on the one hand, the needs of the basic research in detail, and, on the other hand, the instruments, which legislators and courts have developed to satisfy them. Absent any binding harmonized international standards, the solutions adopted differ significantly, or are even not available at all, to the disadvantage of basic research and the society at large.
