A great compendium of subject matter eligibility requirements across various jurisdictions and a handy reference for developing a prosecution strategy across jurisdictions for inventions in a given technical domain.
*Nitin Sharma*

A Global Guide on Patent Subject Matter Eligibility offers a consolidated, practical and instructive framework on varying patent eligibility criteria in different jurisdictions. The content is presented in very easy to grasp fashion and would act as ready reference for day to day patent drafting and prosecution matters. A must read for every IP professional.
