[Vol. 20.3 ABSTRACT In this paper, I examine the ‘as such’ exclusions to patentable subject matter found in sub-section 1(2) of the British Patents Act 1977. Sub-section 1(2) essentially covers abstract subject matter that is either ephemeral in nature (like discoveries, scientific theories and mathematical methods), or subject matter that is generally covered by the law of copyright insofar as the patent application relates to that those items in-and-of themselves (‘as such’). This sub-section is of particular interest because it is a statutory codification of certain a priori ‘truths’ or ‘skills’ that seem inappropriate to protect through a patent monopoly.

During these 10 years, the Center and its Partners have provided nearly $500 million in grants, equipment, travel and training support for peaceful fundamental and applied research projects. These pro- jects have engaged more than 51,000 sci- entists and engineers from almost 700 insti- tutes, research centers and production facili- ties, using many of the best scientists from not only Russia and the CIS, but also many for- eign collaborators from Japan, the Republic of Korea, Norway, the European Union, and the United States. At the ISTC in Moscow and its regional offices in Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and the Kyrgyz Republic, more than 160 associates work together to provide dedicated support and assistance to project participants and ISTC Partners. The ISTC has become an efficient tool for matching the needs of world industry with rele- vant expertise in Russia and the CIS. The pool of ISTC Partners, which includes major scien- tific organizations and many leading private sector companies, is expanding as industry leaders discover research and technology development in Russia and the CIS. We at ISTC wish to extend our sincere gratitude to all those who have supported and are supporting the ISTC nonprolif- eration mission and contributing to its peaceful, cooperative scientific efforts.
