  • The Killer of Little Shepherdsby Douglas Starr

    Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2010; US$ 11.99

  • European Patent Lawby Stefan Luginbuehl

    Edward Elgar Publishing 2011; US$ 40.00

    In his detailed study, Stefan Luginbuehl critically examines the latest efforts to establish a common European and EU patent litigation system and suggests possible alternatives to such a system.
