Abstract
This chapter focuses specifically on one long contested area, namely, the role of ethical
considerations in patent decision-making for biotechnological inventions in Europe.
More
specifically, the chapter examines to what extent the introduction of the UPC– and the
unitary patent system more generally – has the potential to influence the current
interpretative approach for how ethical issues are considered in the patenting of
biotechnological inventions in Europe. It puts forward the case for why a renewed
conversation is urgently needed around what normative role ethical issues should play in
European patent law at this juncture.
