In 2013, twenty-five Member States of the European Union decided to take European patenting and patent enforcement to the next level. They agreed on a common patent title and a common patent court, i.e., the new unitary patent and the UPC. However, the implementation phase of the new patent package was a bumpy ride. Non-participating member states attacked the legal texts before the European Court of Justice, the Rules of Procedure of the UPC were subject to extensive debates, the Brexit referendum slowed down the ratification process, etc. Nevertheless, the unitary patent package survived. The exact date when the UPC will open its doors and the first unitary patent will be registered is still unclear. But observers agree that both projects will most likely become operational in 2018. From that moment on, companies, research institutions and individuals will be able to obtain not only a patent title with immediate effect in twenty-five EU Member States but also a court decision on, for example, infringement or validity of a European or Unitary Patent with effect in the participating Member States.-- Source other than Library of Congress. 000041770 650_0 $$aPatent suits$$zEuropean Union countries 000041770 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$zEuropean Union countries 000041770 85641 $$uhttp://www.kluweriplaw.com/book-toc?title=The%20Unitary%20Patent%20and%20the%20Unified%20Patent%20Court$$yView this resource 000041770 904__ $$aBook 000041770 980__ $$aBIB
