Patenting
website

  

The Patenting Sentinel and Action Service (PSAS), launched in July 2006 by ICAR and EAAP, is based on an international network for the exchange of information on animal patenting issues. The network comprises to date 21 member organizations from Europe, America, Africa and Australia. The mission of PSAS is to:

bullet

constantly update PSAS members on patenting application legislation in the animal sector, so as to lead to a deeper knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of this issue;

bullet

monitor specific patent applications worldwide, which are of most interest to PSAS members;

bullet

possibly take action in a rapid and effective way in relation to specific patenting applications.

The PSAS website provides information on legal, technical, and practical aspects of animal patenting, as well as worldwide news and resources. More specifically, information is organized in the following sections: general information on IP and patenting, legal aspects of patenting and legislation in the EU, relevant publications, patenting glossaries, news and information on patenting in different countries , specific cases of animal patenting, worldwide events, useful links. The latest development of the PSAS is the “Ask PSAS” service, where your questions on animal patenting issues are answered by the legal adviser of PSAS, Mrs. Erin Ogden (patent attorney, USA). We invite you to use this free service to get the answers to any questions you might have on patenting issues. Moreover, a free e-mail newsletter of PSAS was issued in November 2006 and a discussion forum will soon be available.
