This book suggests a new legal framework to improve coherence in the definition of human dignity in European biotechnological (biotech) patent law, by way of a novel court structure.

Examining judicial interpretations of human dignity in biotech patent law across European jurisdictions, the book looks at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the European Patent Office (EPO), the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and national courts. It explores how biotech patent law has shaped the concept of human dignity, influencing judicial reasoning beyond its original trade law context, most notably, the ECtHR's reliance on the CJEU's Brustle judgment in the Parrillo case concerning the fate of human embryos. It raises critical questions about the emergence of divergent definitions of human dignity in these parallel legal systems, where the ECtHR and CJEU operate independently. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book argues for a more coherent decision-making process, proposing the establishment of a final court of appeal to harmonise the legal understanding of human dignity in European biotech patent law, drawing on models from international and regional judicial bodies.

The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of intellectual property law, patent law and human rights, as well as those working within biotechnology.
