Die Einrede der doppelten Inanspruchnahme

»Objection to Double Demands. An Examination of the Double Protection in Patent Law«: The harmonization efforts concerning the European patent system resulted in the proposal in Germany to allow the simultaneous protection by national patents and European patent titles, which is limited by the possibility to raise the objection to double demands. The dissertation examines this simultaneous protection as well as the possibility to object double proceedings and presents the conclusion that more and the better arguments plead for the introduction of the limited double protection.
