\nThe current edition of the European
\nPatent Bulletin contains for the
\nfirst time data on European patents with request for unitary effect following
\nthe entry into operation of the Unitary Patent system
\non 1 June.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\nData on 600 patents with such requests are mentioned and will
\nbe published as granted in the forthcoming edition of the Bulletin. In total, the EPO had received 800 requests for unitary
\neffect by the end of May, as well as 4.500 requests for deferred publication of
\nthe grant of the European patent which will make those patents eligible for requesting
\nunitary effect in June and early July.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe entry into
\nforce of the Unitary Patent system for 17 EU Member States has been the single
\nmost important development in European patent history since the signing of the
\nEuropean Patent Convention on 5 October 1973, nearly fifty years ago. The Unitary
\nPatent system offers
\na host of expected substantial improvements for users everywhere, including cost reductions, streamlined procedures, increased
\ntransparency, and enhanced legal certainty. The Unified Patent
\nCourt (UPC), which also commenced its operations on 1 June, makes a centralised
\nlitigation system for patents a reality in Europe and allows users to file
\ncases at the European level.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
