‘A remarkable academic work and an essential book to understand the role of patents in the cognitive society.’
– Manuel Desantes, University of Alicante, Spain
‘A Research Agenda for Patent Law by Enrico Bonadio and Noam Shemtov provides an essential roadmap for any legal researchers, policymakers or practitioners alike. A distinguished group of prominent contributors illuminate pressing issues and transformative developments shaping the future of patent law and its surrounding “eco-system”. The book thus helps to navigate through ongoing discourses in an era of rapidly evolving technologies facing complex challenges and opportunities. The chapters not only identify open questions that will need to be addressed, but also point towards potential solutions. With its rigorous analysis and forward-thinking perspective, the book encourages critical discourse on the future of innovation and protection in a global context. The authors’ insights are both timely and essential, shedding light on the nuances of a field that impacts technology, economy, and society at large. An invaluable addition to the library of anyone invested in the future of patent law.’
– Timo Minssen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
