For those of you, who were interested in patent process challenges as summarised in our recent blog, I would like to recommend an informative communication by the President of European Patent Office made to its Administrative Council last June.
It compares patent infrastructure in US, Europe and Japan and is part of the broader strategy debate. Here is the link, which lists various documents produced as part of the debate. Patent landscape paper is referenced as CA/115/06.
