Joanna Wisniowskas examination of the ordre public exemption is the clearest and most complete treatment of this issue I have seen. It will surely become the touchstone for anyone pursuing work on this important and under-researched issue in patent law. -- Clark Wolf, Iowa State University, USA The book provides new insights in a detailed and forensic analysis of the challenges that the morality exception entails for the Unified Patent Court. The book develops a method of interpretation that is original in setting out how these challenges can be overcome. Highly recommended for scholars of the UPC. -- Duncan Matthews, Queen Mary University of London, UK Joanna Wisniowska delivers a rigorous and original examination of the morality exception within the Unitary Patent System. By articulating the interpretative methodology of systemic functionalism, this work makes a substantive contribution to patent law scholarship, enhancing theoretical understanding while equipping adjudicators and practitioners with structured analytical tools. -- Timo Minssen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark We live in fascinating times, as a unique legal system with a distinct structure unfolds before our eyes - posing both challenges and opportunities for IP scholars. Joanna Winiowska tackles the morality clause in patent law with an incisive and methodical approach, turning it into a springboard for a bold and original interpretative framework. -- Anna Tischner, Jagiellonian University, Poland
