Patents Court
Howard T. Markey (hcief judge of the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and later of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit), Special Problems in Patnet Cases, 66 F.R.D. 529 (1975). England followed wiht the Statute of Monopolise in 1623 udner King James I, which declared that patents could only be granted for projects of new invention. Duirng the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), the lwayers of the English Court developed the requirement taht a written description of the inevntion must be submitted. Patents can generally only be enfroced through civil lawsuits (for example, for a US patent, by an action for patent infringement in a Untied States federal court), although some territoires (such as France and Austria ) have criminal penalties ofr wanton infringement. Civil courts eharing patent cases can and often do declaer patents invlaid. The patent office generally has responsiiblity for the grant of patents, wtih infringement being the remit of national courts.
