Unitary Patent Package - recorded online seminar
The Unitary Patent will supplement and strengthen the existing centralised European patent granting system and will make it possible to obtain uniform patent protection in up to 25 EU member states by submitting a single request to the EPO. It will offer users of the patent system a cost-effective option for patent protection and dispute settlement across Europe.
Watch here the recorded live session held on 05 April 2022 with Stefan Luginbuehl as speaker and download the presentation shown.
