Ein Patent kann für ein Unternehmen ein sehr wichtiges Asset sein. Der Weg dorthin ist jedoch steinig. Nur Erfindungen, die…
bislang noch nirgends zu finden sind und die außerdem eine erfinderische Leistung aufweisen, werden zum Patent erteilt. Die wichtigen Kriterien zur Patenterteilung sind daher Neuheit und erfinderische Tätigkeit. Die Begründung der erfinderischen Tätigkeit entscheidet regelmäßig in den Erteilungsverfahren vor den Patentämtern, dem Deutschen Patent- und Markenamt (DPMA) und dem Europäischen Patentamt (EPA), und bei streitigen Verfahren vor dem Bundespatentgericht (BPatG) über den Ausgang des Verfahrens. Dem Patentierungskriterium der erfinderischen Tätigkeit gebührt daher die größte Beachtung. Dieses Fachbuch gibt dem Leser das rechtliche Know-How, um in den jeweiligen Verfahren vor dem DPMA, dem EPA und dem BPatG erfolgreich die erfinderische Tätigkeit seiner Erfindung zu begründen bzw. in streitigen Verfahren einen erfolgreichen Angriff gegen ein Patent eines Dritten zu führen.

The “meantime” represents the gap between what is past and the unknown future. When considered as waiting, the meantime is…
defined as a period of suspension to be endured. By contrast, the contributors of this volume understand it as a space of “the possible” where calculation coexists with uncertainty, promises with disappointment, and imminence with deferral. Attending to the temporalities of emerging rather than settled facts, they put the stress on the temporal tactics, social commitments, material connections, dispositional orientations, and affective circuits that emerge in the meantime even in the most desperate times.

physical well-being, our relationships, our spiritual life, our ability to be useful to others—depends on our ability to access love and compassion within ourselves first. This clear, step-by-step guide offers a way to cultivate this power through an evidence-based meditation method called Sustainable Compassion Training (SCT). With practices drawn from Tibetan traditions, attachment theory, and cognitive science, How Compassion Works uses a progressive series of meditations to gradually build our capacity for mindfulness and presence—and to help us avoid empathic distress, compassion fatigue, or burnout. Organized into three categories—receptive mode, deepening mode, and inclusive mode—these practices help us cultivate unconditional care and discernment from within. With a flexible framework that allows practitioners to integrate their own religious or spiritual beliefs, this book offers practices suitable for people of all faiths and those seeking a purely secular path.
