CIPA Journal: Special Edition

The February 2016 edition of the CIPA Journal has a special edition focusing on:

•          Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court
•          UPC Agreement
•          Rules of Procedure

Most interestingly, the supplement highlights the upcoming formation of the UPC – a system to centralise enforcement of a patent granted by the European Patent Office (EPO).  It will also be the setting for others to challenge a classical European patent or Unitary Patent in a single action.

The introduction of the UPC and UP will be the biggest change to the patent system in Europe since the EPO opened in 1977.
