The UK Patent System - £8.95

The UK Patent System Packing and postage: £1.59

A comprehensive reference book which describes the development of the United Kingdom patent system from its beginnings, over 400 years ago.

British patent law is a comparatively little known subject but one of great fascination, being concerned with inventions, with history, and with the use of language. It is also of great importance because the granting of patents has proved to be the most realistic way of encouraging people to make inventions and exploit them commercially.

This book provides a reliable account of the main features of British patent law and practice, tracing their evolution one by one. Many details of patent procedure are tabulated and a list of patents acts, rules and other publications is included.

The book will help those who, through their interest in, for instance, economics, engineering, medicine or science, find that they need to know about the patent system at some particular period.
