I have written a few theoretical essays on the general criteria by which patent applications should be judged, especially within the framework of the European Patent Convention. I am currently working on a book on how to write a patent application, and I hope to publish it in 2020. I also blog regularly on patent-related matters on my employer’s website. Links to those posts are provided below, along with links to patent applications that I have written.
