Edible Oil Processing from a Patent Perspective

Abstract

Discuss recent developments of edible oil processing by selecting certain patents that illustrate this development. I will discuss their content and occasionally also try to explain why I think that these patents and patent applica- tions have been formulated the way they have and what prior art they had to take into account. European and US granted patents 7 list the documents that have been taken into account during the examination of the application on the front page. For applications, the European Patent Of fi ce publishes a Search Report with such a list.
