This book offers an accessible overview of SPC law in Europe, emphasizing a practice-oriented approach. While SPCs share substantive rules across EU and EEA Member States, they remain national IP rights, leading to significant differences in formal requirements and procedural practices among national patent offices. These variations can greatly impact SPC prosecution across Europe. The content encompasses substantive and procedural aspects of prosecution, enforcement, and invalidation, along with SPC-related issues in unfair competition law across various jurisdictions. Beginning with a comprehensive European chapter that discusses general considerations and relevant EU law, including CJEU and EFTA Court jurisprudence, the book features national chapters for eleven key jurisdictions—Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Iceland, and Switzerland. A concluding chapter summarizes SPC law fundamentals in sixteen additional European countries. Contributors, all experts in their fields, provide practical guidance on critical topics, such as the definition of 'active ingredients' for SPC protection, requirements for basic patent protection, and conditions for obtaining SPCs for derivatives of approved ingredients. The book addresses strategic questions about SPC filings, invalidation grounds, and unfair competition law pitfalls. Its practitioner-focused structure offers valuable insight
