Abstract: This research paper

discrepancies in the patents laws/patent legislations vis-à-vis
e-business-related patents in the respective Asian 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 Asian country
will be compared and analyzed 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
Asian country.
