内容简介
当前，信息技术的持续进步正在推动着商业方法相关革新的不断发展，例如，太阳微系统公司开发的网络一站式购物方法已经不再需要在客户端或服务器上保存任何数据文档。一些公司正试图利用这类革新去降低成本并提高质量以获得竞争优势。成本的降低以及产品、服务和/或其它质量的提高最终可能带来消费者的受益。然而，由于这类革新的易仿制的特性所导致的竞争优势可能难以维持的结果或许降低公司对该类革新投入的积极性，是否对该类创新提供专利保护成为了当今的一个争议性问题。目前，追随1998年道富信托银行一案的判决，美国已经在法律上认可了商业方法创新的专利保护。然而，在欧洲，尽管一些商业方法相关的创新已经实际上被授予了专利权，欧洲专利局仍未对此明确表态。欧洲专利局对商业方法专利所持有的暧昧态度或许会对欧洲的工业和经济产生严重的消极影响。

本书特色
advances in information technology have enabled the design and development of innovations in business methods. this is particularlyfelt with it enabled innovations such as sun microsystems’ statelessshopping cart for the web which is a web shopping cart system that does not require any data files to be maintained on either the client or the server. firms attempt to leverage these innovations to gain competitive advantages through cost reduction and other quality improvements， which may also pass some benefits on to consumers. however， such competitive advantages are mcreasingly difficult to sustainbecause business method innovations are often easy to copy or imitate.quick and cheap imitation of innovative products and processes mayreduce the incentives for firms to invest further in innovation. thus，patent protection for business method inventions became a live issue with different outcomes as between the us and europe. at present， in the us， business method patents are legally recognised since the state street ban，k decision， 149 f. 3d 1368 (us court of appeals for the federal circuit 1998).
