Original air date:  October 7, 2015.  Unitary Patent Protection in Europe – An Attunement on the Upcoming New System

 

By dismissing Spain’s actions against the legal foundations of uniform patent protection in May 2015 the Court of Justice of the European Union cleared the way for the European patent with unitary effect. Entry into force of the ‘Unitary Patent System’ is expected for spring 2017. This webinar’s objective is to provide an overview on the new system, its advantages and drawbacks. The nature of the new patent and the related prosecution process will be described in detail. Another point of focus lies on the introduction of the Unified Patent Court, a completely new court responsible for litigation proceedings related to unitary patents as well as classical European patents. The webinar will enable its participants to make informed decisions on the most urgently upcoming issues related to patent protection in Europe.
