New Patent Blog From Kluwer Law International Features Informative, Timely Discussion by Leading European Experts

ALPHEN AAN DEN RIJN, The Netherlands, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Kluwer Law International has launched a new Patent Blog, www.KluwerPatentBlog.com, designed to be the leading discussion forum for patent attorneys and lawyers operating in Europe. Kluwer Law International is part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, a leading global provider of information and software solutions in key legal and compliance specialty areas (www.kluwerlaw.com).

"As we enter the second decade of the new millennium, the world of international patents seems to be more active than ever before," said Brian Cordery of Bristows, who, with Peter Burgers of Brinkhof, is a Managing Editor of the blog. "Since a unitary European Union patent system, or a European Patents Court, is at least five, if not ten or twenty years away, the best that can be done is to obtain as clear a picture as possible of the trans-national situation to provide complete and accurate advice. That's what this blog aims to do."

In addition to the Managing Editors, distinguished contributors to the blog include: Daniela Ampollini of Trevisan & Cuonzo, Korbinian Kopf of Maiwald, Miquel Montana of Clifford Chance, Thomas Musmann of Rospatt Osten Pross, Kristof Roox of Crowell & Moring, Pierre Veron of Veron & Associes and Derk Visser of EIP.

"The Kluwer Patent Blog brings together some of the leading patents experts from across Europe and, as a team, they provide a highly interesting and informative platform for debate," said Oriana Marcolongo, Kluwer Law International Product Manager. "The blog will instigate refreshing and discerning analysis of all of crucial developments in the field of patents and also serve as a platform to post the headnotes of Kluwer Patent Cases," Marcolongo added.
