Whether or not to opt out of the competence of the unified patent court: another issue for european patent owners
Par
Frédérique DURIEUX
et
Stéphanie MASSIN CELAIRE
, French and European Patent Attorneys
The Unified Patent Court will have exclusive competence for all European patents, as well as for supplementary protection certificates (SPCs) granted for a product protected by a European patent. If this exclusive competence is obligatory for European patents with unitary effect, it will be possible, during a transitional period, to opt out of the UPC’s exclusive competence for European patents not benefiting from the unitary effect. European patent owners should therefore start thinking about their opt-out strategy now.
