European Patent Office - Special Edition 2008 of the EPO Case Law

The European Patent Office (EPO) recently published the case law of the EPO boards of appeal for 2007 as a supplement to its official journal.
The publication aims to present and facilitate access to the boards' case law. It sorts the most important decisions by topic (inventive step, novelty, sufficiency of disclosure, etc.) with a short related summary. It also gives statistical information on the activities of the boards (for example that they have settled 1702 cases in 2007).
