The patentable invention. Unpatentable inventories and knowledge and undecided treatment of computer programs

Summary/Abstract: The rights over an invention are acknowledged and protected on the territory of Romania through the issue of an invention patent by the State Office for Inventions and Trademarks. The law does not define invention, but instead, simply lists the conditions a new and useful development must fulfill in order to be patented (novelty, inventive activity and industrial applicability). Moreover, the law does not regard as inventions the categories of knowledge and developments listed (without limitation) under art. 7 and excludes from the scope of patent protection developments the use whereof would be contrary to certain interests protected by the state or the principles of ethics, as well as works that are protected by other laws.
