                                                  • A “verdict” on the economic value of the patent system of the US economist Fritz Machlup published in 1958 still has an important impact on assessing the economic effects of the patent system on economic development by academic intellectual property (IP) scholars worldwide. This contribution analysis Machlup’s study as is and in the light of subsequent US and global legal and economic developments. Based on empirical data, it pays attention to the impact of the US Bayh-Dole type legislation on the translation of basic research into innovative products and processes, as well as to the impact of the new world economic order under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on economic development of developing and emerging economies. All largely ignored in critical academic writings, discussing, e.g. the specific problem of patenting human genes. The case of China, which adopted its first Patent Law in 1984, addressed in the context of Machlup’s verdict and in light of the subsequent economic, scientific and technological development of that country. Concluding thoughts consider today’s value of Machlup’s “verdict.”

                                                      • Es ist eine unbestrittene Tatsache, dass eine schnelle und genaue Diagnose eine unabdingbare Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Behandlung jeder Gesundheitsstörung ist. Doch erst ein Ereignis wie der Pandemieausbruch des Covid-19-Virus rückt die zentrale Bedeutung der Diagnostik für die öffentliche Gesundheit ins Rampenlicht der Politik. (Zeitungen und Fachzeitschriften sind seit dem Ausbruch der Pandemie voll von Schlagzeilen, die die außergewöhnliche Bedeutung der Diagnostik betonen. Hier nur zwei frühe Beispiele: H. Kuchler/K. Stacey und K. Manson, White House Moves to Accelerate Testing, Financial Times vom 14./15. März 2020, S. 4, und S. Berkley, COVID-19 Needs a Manhattan Project, Editorial, 2020 Science 367, 1407.) Während jedoch die Wirtschaftlichkeit der risikoreichen und teuren Investitionen in Forschung und Entwicklung von Therapeutika und ihre hohen Kosten für das Gesundheitssystem häufig im Mittelpunkt öffentlicher Debatten stehen, findet die wirtschaftliche Situation der Industrie, die für die Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E) von Diagnoseverfahren und die Produktion von Diagnosemitteln verantwortlich ist, wenig Beachtung.

Since 2001 some 340,000 AI-related patent applications have been filed. The fact that AI techniques enable machines to learn iteratively from data and experience and think in concepts and eventually turn them into a source of new knowledge, raises a number of patent law relevant questions. This article gives a brief insight into the main AI tools, presents academic views questioning the suitability of patent law to deal adequately with the challenging AI techniques, as well as the respective views of those actively involved in administering and using the patent system. It analyses the patent applications of Dr. Stephen Thaler, indicating the DABUS machine as inventor, holistically. It is not limited to the question, whether a machine can be named "inventor", as exclusively addressed by courts and patent granting authorities. Based on the DABUS facts, the contribution examines, whether the DABUS autonomously generated the claimed invention, whether Thaler had disclosed the relevant prior art, whether the disclosure requirements met, how the person skilled in the art be defined, how examiners be equipped, and the necessary search strategies in cases dealing with AI-related inventions.

This contribution conveys insights into artificial intelligence’s basic methods and tools, its main achievements, its economic environment and the surrounding ethical and social issues. Based on the announced and taken measures of the EU organs in the area of artificial intelligence, the contribution analyses the position of Europe in the global context.

This article looks at South Africa’s patent system and development aspirations as set out in the National Development Plan (Vision 2030), and discusses these within the context of the changes in the macroeconomic environment as well as intellectual property landscape over the period 1996–2015. Based on South Africa’s technological capabilities as reflected in patent data, this article proposes a number of interventions that could ensure that the intellectual property system becomes a catalyst for fostering South Africa’s development goals. This article places specific emphasis on transfer of technology, including the adaptation of foreign developed intellectual property to supplement South Africa’s new technological capabilities in a few technological areas, in order to build new industries and catalyse development. This article advocates that the South African Government should support genuine innovation and the import of important technologies with a range of incentives to propel the private sector in order to realise the country’s developmental objective. The case of South Africa could be particularly useful for low and other middle-income countries on how to use the intellectual property system for their socio-economic development.

This contribution provides for some basic understanding of technologies involved. It discusses ethical issues and legal rules dealing with the research and exploitation of stem cells in Europe. Moreover, it presents and analyses in some detail the statutory provisions of the EU in dealing with the patenting of human embryonic stem cells and the interpretation and application of those rules by the Court of Justice of the European Union. Finally, the resulting inconsistencies of the system as applied are critically analysed and a suggestion how to resolve them offered.

In this contribution, based on some concrete examples, new scientific achievements are presented as basis of modern medicine and source of ethical concerns. Addressed are also the role of scientists in coping with safety in ethical concerns as regards hazards of new technologies, costs of R&D investment in drug development and the role of patents in this context. In some detail the legal situation existing at an international and European level as regards exclusions from patentability based on reasons of ethics and morals is presented. A critical appraisal of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union as regards patentability of embryonic stem cells is offered.

In this article the author examines the coverage of the ‘Bolar’-rule in the broader context of the Community law in which it is embedded. He also addresses the compliance of this Community rule with the TRIPS Agreement. More specifically the author discusses the issue of third parties supply of patented active ingredients to generic drug companies for regulatory authorization and makes suggestions how it sould be solved under the ‘Bolar’-rule.

Dezember 2019 die Ökonomen Kai Konrad und Jörg Rocholl einen Vorschlag zur nachhaltigen Belebung der deutschen Wirtschaft unterbreitet. In Anlehnung an Reagan schlagen sie vor, Unternehmen zu erlauben, „Investitionen sofort oder zumindest deutlich beschleunigt gegen Gewinne zu verrechnen – und nicht erst dann, wenn die Investitionsgüter sich tatsächlich verbrauchen“. Reagan habe damit den USA einen gewaltigen Boom beschert. Der Vorschlag ist überzeugend begründet und wird hoffentlich bei den für die deutsche Wirtschaft Verantwortlichen die nötige Beachtung finden. Den eigentlichen Grund für den vorliegenden Beitrag liefert allerdings nicht der Inhalt, sondern der Titel des Zeit-Artikels, der nicht nur an Ronald Reagan und seine wirtschaftsrelevanten Positionen erinnert, sondern Anlass dazu bietet, auch an Reagans Einschätzung der Rolle der Ökonomen in der Politik zu erinnern und sich mit einigen aktuellen Fragen der Ökonomie, wie Negativzinsen und Abschaffung des Bargeldes, auseinanderzusetzen.

Following Reagan, they proposed to allow companies “to offset their investments immediately, or at least significantly accelerated, against their profits – and not only then, when the capital goods are actually used up.” Thanks to Reagan’s move, the USA had experienced an enormous boom. The proposal is convincingly reasoned and will hopefully enjoy the necessary attention by those responsible for the German economy. The actual reason for this contribution, however, is not the substance of “Die Zeit” article, but its title. It does not only remind us of Ronald Reagan’s economy relevant positions, but gives reason to recall Reagan’s assessment of the role, economists play in the politics. Moreover, also to address some topical issues of the current economy, such as negative interest rates or ideas on abolition of cash.
