December 11, 2012: High Noon (Again) For EU Unitary Patent
A look into the Draft Agenda for the plenary session of the European Parliament on Tuesday, 11 December 2012 reveals that the discussion and vote on the Unitary Patent Package is due:
- #146 — Creation of unitary patent protection
Report: Bernhard Rapkay (A7-0001/2012)
Report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the creation of unitary patent protection
[COM(2011)0215 - C7-0099/2011 - 2011/0093(COD)]
Committee on Legal Affairs- #147 — Unitary patent protection
Report: Raffaele Baldassarre (A7-0002/2012)
Report on the proposal for a Council Regulation implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of the creation of unitary patent protection with regard to the applicable translation arrangements
[COM(2011)0216 - C7-0145/2011 - 2011/0094(CNS)]
Committee on Legal Affairs- #148 — Jurisdictional system for patent disputes
Report: Klaus-Heiner Lehne (A7-0009/2012)
Report on jurisdictional system for patent disputes
[2011/2176(INI)]
Committee on Legal Affairs
The final list of amendments tabled is available here. It looks as if this amendment #70 with some clarifications might prevail.
Also on December 11, 2012, at the Court of Justice of the EU in Luxembourg the Attorney General who is in charge of joined cases C-274/11 C-295/11 (Annulment of Council Decision 2011/167/EU of 10 March 2011 authorising enhanced cooperation in the area of the creation of unitary patent protection (OJ 2011 L 76, p. 53) Misuse of powers – Failure to respect the judicial system of the European Union) will deliver his or her Opinion. The Court might later well derive from that but the Opinion will, as usual, give a clue as to whether or not Spain and Italy might have some chance to spoil the project of enhanced co-operation in the field of patents at last.

June 26, 2013Nach mehreren vergeblichen Anläufen zur Schaffung eines EU-weiten Patentsystems wurde 1973 als Kompromiss das Europäische Patentübereinkommen unterzeichnet, welches unabhängig von der seinerzeit noch EWG genannten Europäischen Union System zur zentralisierten Patenterteilung mit nachgeordnetem Einspruchsverfahren durch das Europäische Patentamt schuf.
