Regenerative Medizin setzt große Hoffnungen in die Forschung mit humanen embryonalen Stammzellen. Ebenso umstritten wie diese Forschung selbst ist auch die Patentierung von Erfindungen, die sich auf humane embryonale pluripotente Stammzellen beziehen. Sowohl im regulatorischen Bereich wie auch im Bereich der Patentierung gibt es international große Unterschiede. Die Beiträge legen dar und analysieren die aus rechtlicher wie ethischer Sicht komplizierte Rechtslage der Patentierung in diesem Bereich nach dem europäischen Patent-recht und den Patentrechten der VR China, Deutschlands, Frankreichs, Japans, Kanadas, Koreas, Österreichs, der Schweiz, der USA und des Vereinigten Königreiches. Jedem an dieser Materie Interessierten bieten sie eine wertvolle Orientierungshilfe.

In all major industrialised countries, copyright law has fundmentally changed in the last 15 years due to the digital age, the TRIPS Agreement and the WIPO Copyright Treaties. Japan is no exception, and both legislation and case law have been most active within this period of time. Copyright Law in Japan contains up-to date information on such difficult issue as the new distribution right for copyright works, frictions between private and public interest, provisions on anti-circumvention devices, contributory infringement in a digital and non-digital environment, calculation of damages in copyright infringement cases, the fundamental of moral rights protection and the work quality of video games. The book is written by a number of leading Japanese and Max Planck academics, and Japanese practitioners, and thus combines practical knowledge with academic standards. The book contains the following chapters: Copyright Hirstory;General Introduction;Protected Works;Copyright Ownership;Moral Rights;Economic Rights and Limitations;Copyright Contract Law;Neighbouring Rights;The Enforcement of Copyrights. The book is a must for all copyright owners concerned about their rights in Japan, and for private practitioners counselling their clients on potential strategies of marketing copyright material and enforcing copyrights in the Japanese market.
