2. artistic advances,
3. plans, rules or methods for the exercise of intellectual business, for games or business, or programs for computers,
4. The progress of information.

Achievements can also be patented when they apply to a product consisting of or contain biological material, or a approach to portable, treat or anturn biological material. Biological material isolated from its natural environment or presented using a technical approach could be the subject of an invention even if it is already occurring in nature. With biological material understood in this law material that contains genetic information, and which can multiply itself or can be formulated in a biological system.

Patent co-is not on plant warts or animal staffing. Achievements that apply to plants or animals, however, can be patented if the exercise of the invention is not technically limited to a specific plant card or animal stasis. The king can in regulation determine what to count as plant card or animal race.

Patent co-is not at essential biological techniques for representation of plants or animals. With significantly biologically understood in this law a approach that in its entirety depends on natural phenomena such as cross-reading or sampling. Patent may, however, be co-shared on microbiology techniques or other technical techniques or a product that is represented at such practices. With the micrologic approach, in this law, any method of assumption is performed on or depicts a microbial material.

Patent co-is not on techniques for surgical treatment, therapy or diagnosing, which is being done on humans or animals. This provision is not an obstacle to the announcement of the patent of products, herunder substances or drug cereals, for use in such techniques.

EES deal Attachment XVII # 6 (Council Regulation (ELF) # 1768/92 of 18 June 1992 on the introduction of a supplementary protection certificate for drugs)

[ The council of the European communities has-

under reference to the Treaty of the Creation of the European Economic Community, especially Article 100 A,

under reference to proposals from the Commission,

in cooperation with the European Parliament,

under reference to the statement from the Economic and Social Committee, and

out from the following consideration :

Research on the pharmaceutical area contributes the crucial way to a continued improvement of the public health.

Pharmaceutications, especially those resulting from long-term research with major expenses, will in the future be developed in the community and in Europe only if they are refunded by a favorable legislation that ensures adequate protection to promote such research.

The time period it takes from a patent application for a new drug is granted and to the permission of marketing the drug has been reduced, reducing the current time the effective protection patent provides for a time period that is not sufficient to write off the research investments.

These circumstances lead to a protection that is not sufficient and that is to damage to the pharmaceutical research.

The present situation involves a danger that the research centers of the Member States are being moved to states that are already now offering better protection.

It should be determined a singular solution to the community plan to prevent an unsingular development of the national legislating leads to new inequities that will be able to prevent the free mobility of drugs in the community and thus directly affect it inner market creation and function.

For drugs allowed to be marketable, it is therefore necessary to impose a supplementary protection certificate, which can be issued to the holder of a national or European patent after the same terms in all Member States. An Regulation is therefore the most expediency of judicial instrument.

The validity time of the certificate must be determined so that it provides an adequate and effective protection. With regard to this, the holder of both a patent and a certificate could benefit from a level of protection in all of the highly fifteen-year rain from the time that the drug is first allowed to be markeled in the community.

Not the less the less it should be taken into account of all interests, herunder the peoples of health, which make themselves current within a bloc that is so complex and sensitive as the pharmaceutical. For this reason, the certificate cannot be issued for a period of over five years. The protection that it provides should in addition be strictly limited to the product that is permitted marketive as a drug.

The determining of the transition arrangement should also be imprinted by a reasonable balance. This arrangement shall provide the Co-Company pharmaceutical industry occasion for partly to compensate for the delay that has been emerged in relation to its most important competition, which for several years has drawn benefit from legislation that ensures them a better protection, while at the same time it shall be incurred that the arrangement is not to hinder the completion of other rightful targets related to the health policy that is being conveyed both on the national plan and on the community plan.

The transition arrangement to come to the Applicability of the given certificate applications and certificates issued in accordance with national legislation before this Regulation takes effect, should be determined.

A special arrangement should be permitted in the Member States where the legislature first recently introduced product patent on drugs.

An appropriate containment of the certificate's validity time should be determined in the distinctive case where a patent's validity time has already been extended according to national legislation-enacted this Regulation : ]

EES deal Attachment XVII # 6a (europe Parliaments and Council Regulation (EC) 1610/96 of 23 July 1996 on the introduction of a supplementary protection certificate for plant pharmaceutical products)

[ Europarliament and the Council of the European Union have-

under reference to the Treaty of the Creation of the European Community, especially Article 100 A,

under reference to proposals from the Commission,

under reference to the statement from the Financial and Social Committee,

after the procedure determined in the treaty Article 189 B and

out from the following consideration :

(1) Research in plant pharmaceutical products contributes to a continued improvement of production and supply in wealth of nutritional quantities of good quality to overcomtable prices.
(2) Research on the plant pharmaceutical area contributes to a continued improvement of plant production.
(3) Plantecpharmaceutical products, especially those resulting from long-term research with major expenses, will in the future be able to be developed in the community and in Europe if they are redesigned by a favorable legislation that ensures adequate protection to promote such research.
(4) Due to the plant pharmaceutical sector's distinctive character, it is a prerequisite for the competitive ability of the area that newly creation is given a protection equivalent to the remedies of the Council of Council Regulation (EELF) 1768/92 of 18 June 1992 about the introduction of a supplementary protection certificate for drugs.
(5) The time that runs from a patent application for a new plant pharmaceutical product is being given, until the permit to market the product has been, reduces at the present time the effective protection patent provides for a time period that is not sufficient to write off the research investments and to provide the necessary resources to maintain research on a high level.
(6) These circumstances lead to a protection that is not sufficient, and which is to damage to the plant pharmaceutical research and for the sector's competitive ability.
(7) One of the main objectives of the supplementary protection certificate is to ensure European industry the same competitive terms as equivalent North American and Japanese industry.
(8) In its resolution of 1. February 1993 about a community program for policy and measures on the environment and sustainable development accepted the Council on the general approach and strategy of the program induced by the Commission, where the mutual dependence between economic growth and environmental quality was underscored. It is therefore a prerequisite for a management of the environmental protection that the industry's economic competitive ability is maintained. The issuance of a supplementary protection certificate can thus be considered a positive measure to the benefit of environmental protection.
(9) It should be determined a singular solution to the community plan to prevent an unsingular development of the national legislates leading to new inequities that will be able to prevent the free mobility of plant pharmaceutical products in the community and thus directly influence the inner market behavior. This is in accordance with the proximity principle as defined in the treaty's Article 3 B.
(10) For plant pharmaceutical products allowed marketer, it is therefore necessary to impose a supplementary protection certificate that can be issued to the holder of a national or European patent on the same terms in all Member States. An Regulation is therefore the most expediency of legal real means.
(11) The validity time of the certificate must be determined so that it provides adequate and effective protection. With regard to this, the holder of both a patent and a certificate could benefit from a level of protection in all of 15 years the rain from the time that the plant pharmaceutical product first allowed market-led in the community.
(12) Not the less the less it should be taken into account of all interests that make the current within a bloc that is so complex and sensitive as the plant pharmaceutical. For this reason, the certificate cannot be issued for a period of over five years.
(13) The certificate entails the same rights as those who attach themselves to the base of the base. If the base element includes an active substance and its various derivatives (salter and masters), the certificate provides the same protection.
(14) The issuance of certificate for a product consisting of an active substance is not to the obstacle that it can be issued other certificates for derivatives (salter and masters) of the drug, provided that the derivatives repatriation of patents that are specifically recited to them.
(15) The determining of the transition arrangement should also be imprinted by a reasonable balance. The arrangement shall provide the Joint Company's plant pharmaceutical industry occasion until partly to compensate for the delay that has been occurring in relation to its most important competition, while also to be incurred that the arrangement is not to the hurdles of the review of other rightful targets related to the policy on the Agriculture and Environmental Environmental Council that is being taken both on the national plan and on the community plan.
(16) The aim of securing new creation on the plant pharmaceutical area adequate protection while as the interior market for plant pharmaceutical products seems satisfying, can only be achieved through community measures.
(17) The rules of consideration 12, 13 and 14 as well as in Article 3 # 2, Article 4, Article 8 # 1 letter c) and Article 17 # 2 In this Regulation gets the equivalent of the Applicability of the interpretation especially of considering 9 and Article 3 and 4, Article 8 # 1 letter c) and Article 17 of the Council Regulation (ELF) # 1768/92-adopted this Regulation : ]
