Abstract:

Building on existing analytical frameworks, this book provides a new
methodology allowing different language policies in international multilingual
organisations (or “language regimes”) to be compared and evaluated on the
basis of criteria such as efficiency and fairness. It explains step-by-step
how to organise the evaluation of language regimes and how to design and
interpret indicators for such evaluation. The second part of this book applies
the theoretical framework to the evaluation of the language policy of the
Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) division of the World Intellectual Property
Organisation (WIPO) and the European Patent Office (EPO). Results show that an
increase in linguistic diversity of the language regimes of patent
organisations can both improve the efficiency of the patent system and lead to
a more balanced distribution of costs among countries. This book is a resource
for scholars in language policy and planning and for policy-makers in the
international and European patent system.
