Bioinked Boundaries - Patenting 3d Bioprinted Tissues, Organs And Bioinks: An Us, European And Australian Patent Law Perspective

by Pratap Devarapalli

~~171,59€~~ 154,43€ 10% OFF

 This book presents a comprehensive and comparative study of the patentability of bioprinting inventions, specifically bioinks and bioprinted tissues, in the US, the Europe and Australia. It employs a two-phase analysis to understand, ‘Is the patentable subject matter requirement a hurdle to patenting bioprinting inventions, specifically bioinks and bioprinted tissues?’ The first phase is a doctrinal analysis of the patent laws and jurisprudence in respective jurisdictions, highlighting the similarities and differences in their approaches to the subject matter requirement. The second phase is an empirical analysis of the patent prosecution data from patent applications filed in each jurisdiction with claims directed towards bioprinted tissues and bioinks, revealing how patent examiners apply the patent provisions to accept or object to such patent claims.The book offers several contributions to the field of bioprinting and patent law. First, it provides a detailed and up-to-date overview of the current state of the art and the legal landscape of bioprinting inventions. Second, it identifies the main criteria and factors that patent examiners use to assess the patentable subject matter of bioprinted tissues and bioinks, such as the level of human intervention, the markedly different characteristics, and the industrial applicability. Third, it proposes patenting framework models for each jurisdiction, which can assist patent applicants to draft and amend their patent claims in accordance with the patentable subject matter requirement. Fourth, it evaluates the potential benefits and implications of patenting bioprinting inventions for the bioprinting industry and society at large, such as fostering innovation, promoting public health, and indirectly addressing ethical and social issues.The main benefit that the reader will derive from the book is a deeper understanding of the patentability of bioprinting inventions, specifically bioinks and bioprinted tissues, in different jurisdictions and contexts. The book will help the reader to appreciate the legal and technical aspects of bioprinting and patent law, and how they affect the bioprinting industry and society at large.

Europe'S Foreign Fighter Conundrum - Legal Responses, The Rule Of Law, And Human Rights

by Tarik Gherbaoui

~~184,84€~~ 166,36€ 10% OFF

 This book explores how Europe can resolve its foreign fighter conundrum without losing its credibility as a guardian of the rule of law and human rights. Centring on European foreign fighters who travelled to the armed conflict in Syria and Iraq, this book examines to which extent legal responses to the security threat posed by foreign fighters have been consistent with the rule of law and human rights.The transnational nature of the foreign fighter phenomenon has created a messy labyrinth of legal obligations at the international, European, and domestic levels. To dissect this multi-layered counter-terrorism architecture, the book analyses the intricate interplay between legal norms at these different levels, with a special focus on prosecution and citizenship deprivation. Pertinent issues discussed in this book include multilateral responses by the United Nations, the European Union, and the Council of Europe, as well as the interplay between the ‘foreign terrorist fighter’ concept and definitions of terrorism. The book also addresses the conflation between counter-terrorism law and international humanitarian law, and the increasing preventive shift within counter-terrorism law. Drawing on insights from various fields of law, the book''s comprehensive and thorough assessment of the rule of law and human rights implications of permanent international, regional, and domestic legal measures to foreign fighters offers best practices for managing future terrorist threats and challenges. It is an essential resource for both researchers and practitioners in the field of counter-terrorism, national and international security, and international law.Tarik Gherbaoui is a Researcher in international law in the Research Department of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut in The Hague, the Netherlands.

Ratio Decidendi And Obiter Dictum - A Curious Case

by Daniel Mitidiero

~~158,34€~~ 142,51€ 10% OFF

 This book explores the concepts of ratio decidendi and obiter dictum from a historical-comparative perspective. It provides a comprehensive review of legal doctrine on precedent, delving into English and American Law so to illustrate its applicability to the Brazilian legal system. How we deal with precedents is its main topic.Definitions within legal fields have always been subject to significant debate, with some recurring more often than others. Every now and then, a perspective arises which transforms the orthodoxy. As such is the case with the notion of precedent. Outlining its contours establishes a continuity between disparate and temporally distinct traditions. It requires theoretical-philosophical speculation, historical-comparative sense, and attention to the particularities of Brazilian Law.This book includes in-depth discussions of the development of the various understandings of the ratio, outlines the notions of ratio decidendi and obiter dictum, and illustrates its application within legal practice. It suggests an understating of the ratio capable of dealing with identical, similar and distinct issues in the Brazilian legal system. Following an extensive debate on the characterisation of the ratio, it explores the notion of obiter dictum, its definition, abilities and effects. The target audience of this book includes researchers, scholars and practitioners, especially those interested in the practice of precedent from a perspective that intertwines legal theory, legal history and comparative law.

Planetary Health - Laws, Policies And Science On The 'One Health' Approach

~~198,09€~~ 178,28€ 10% OFF

 This book offers a multidisciplinary and in-depth analysis of the One Health approach. The holistic One Health vision, a healthcare model based on the integration of various disciplines, is both ancient and current.

One Health is an ideal approach to achieving global health, as it addresses the needs of the most vulnerable populations based on the intimate relationship between their own health, that of their animals, and that of the environment in which they live, considering the wide spectrum of determinants that emerge from this relationship.Given its scope, the book will be of interest to academics, professionals, and students of all disciplines who engage with the One Health approach.

Cybercrime And Cyber Terrorism - A View From The Philosophy Of Social Science

by Tim Owen

~~118,59€~~ 106,73€ 10% OFF

 This book examines the cyber terrorist offender through social and biological theories. It critiques how traditional criminology theory falls short when applied to cyber-terrorism. Using a four-fold lens, it takes into analytical consideration a cluster of psychological, social, genetic and neurological variables. It uses multiple examples to show how this approach can be applied to selected aspects of cyber terrorism, including definitions of terrorism per se, forms of cyber terrorism, examples of counter terrorism and attempts to combat cyber terrorism, and the possible motivations for cyber terrorism. This Genetic-Social approach seeks to ‘build bridges’ between the biological and social sciences, providing an ontologically-flexible, more integrationalist conceptualisation of the phenomena of cyber terrorism. It includes a chapter explaining how the post-Covid era has changed the playing field in a way that advantages cyber-terrorists and it also discusses a blueprint for a potential predictive model of cyber terrorism.

Sustainability In Europe - Roots And Evolution Of The Current Legal Regime

by Radka Macgregor Pelikanova

~~184,84€~~ 166,36€ 10% OFF

 This book analyses the roots and evolution of the concept of sustainability in Europe and the European Union. As sustainability has always mirrored certain value judgments on justice and priorities, it is suitable for functionalist, analytical, contextual and historical comparisons via multidisciplinary studies combining various branches of the social sciences, law, philosophy, and economics.The aim of this book is to explore the roots and evolution of sustainability, so as to reveal how a European style of sustainability has emerged, one that is inextricably linked to our civilization and history. It identifies linear and cyclical phases with clear trends toward expanding the reach of sustainability, its subjects and their duties. The book offers a multidisciplinary, chronological and contextual overview of the evolution of sustainability until the 21st century, while also addressing its legal regime. Sustainability has many faces and needs to be approached in a dynamic manner through the lens of sustainable development or via a multi-stakeholder model that includes private subjects and corporate social responsibility.Although primarily intended for an audience with an advanced background in law, economics and philosophy, the book will also benefit a more general audience, particularly those who want to learn where the current sustainability concerns and legal regime actually came from.
