Olswang OIPRC 2000: The First Mover Monopoly - study on business method patents at EPO and UKPO
This legal study, written by patent law scholars, still focusses very much on caselaw and doesn't dive deeply into the patents that are actually being granted. Yet it does analyse the problems more profoundly than the usual UK patent family studies and points out that certain restrictions on business method patents that are being touted by the patent community in Europe are not real restrictions and warns that problems as they have become apparent to everybody must be expected to emerge in Europe also.
