Rebentisch Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:37:41 +0000 http://blog.ksnh.eu/en/?p=1142#comment-164 As a European Federalist I am strongly for substantive harmonisation within the EU framework. A unitary patent(*) without substantive law is like a building on sand. That is why it is so difficult to move forward. I would recommend all parties to go for 3a. Harmonisation could be <i>de minimis</i> or consolidate the Straßburg Convention. (*) Of course "Enhanced Cooperation" is the least favourable legislative option as the FFII pointed out. "Italy and Spain to join" means a different, a better procedure than enhanced cooperation. It's possible to get the European Patent right. It should be tried. When you harmonise national substantive patent laws first (what the EPO is not entitled to, at least de jure) and standardise patent office procedures, it lays the foundation for full harmonisation. Without that harmonisation everything presented becomes an "ugly hack" and continues to consume generations of the brightest minds of national diplomacy and EU technocracy without actual progress.
