Related Patents in a Globalised E-Economy: The Position in Asian Region
Abstract: This
research paper explores the legal positions pertaining to
e-business-related patents in a globalised e-Economy in Asean region
i.e. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. It attempts to highlight
the diverse legal discrepancies in the patents laws/patent legislations
vis-à-vis e-business-related patents in the respective Asean
country. The approach taken is comparative and critical analysis
in nature. Section/Part 1 deals with the legal position taken in major
jurisdictions in the US and Europe/UK. Section/Part 2 analyses the
legal positions adopted in the respective Asean countries in the light
of legal positions prevalent in the above major jurisdictions. In
this regard, the patents law/legislative statutes of each Asean country
will be compared and analysed accordingly with a view to identify the
extent of differences and similarities in legal treatment with special
emphasis on e-business-related patents. The conclusion/result
reached in this research paper is non-exhaustive due to
conflicting/different legal treatment and the dynamic
nature of globalised e-Economy effecting the respective
Asean country.
