[edit] Patent article
Hi, thanks for your edits to the patent article - all good material. I do, however, think the material may sit better in the pages related to the PCT/EPC, or perhaps Patent application. The reason being that we have been trying to keep the Patent article down in size as it is pretty big already and seems to keep accumulating extra material (all of interest, but perhaps best located elsewhere to avoid pages getting big). The aim was to try and keep the patent article as an overview, and then use the various more specific articles for the details. Please take a look through the various patent related articles and see where you think it fits best and let me know, I'm sure it'll slot in somewhere really well - which maybe is the Patent article, but personally I think elsewhere is best.

Hi Boundlessly, thanks for your edits. I concur with Kcordina on this and I have reverted your edit, which I think does not improve the article. It introduced a US centric paragraph (which I think should probably go there: United States patent law) and a couple of mistakes. The Paris Convention is not the only treaty that has the effect of altering substantive patent rights: the European Patent Convention for instance creates substantive rights (see Part II of the EPC, which is entitled Substantive patent law). The Strasbourg Convention is another substantive patent law treaty. Finally, a European patent does not need to be "registered" in all cases (see wording of Art. 65(1) EPC: "if the text, in which the European Patent Office intends to grant a European patent or maintain a European patent as amended for that State, is not drawn up in one of its official languages," [1]). Cheers. --Edcolins 08:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
