欧州&セミナー: 欧州特許庁の欧州統一特許裁判所と欧州単一特許のオンラインセミナー

先日、欧州統一特許裁判所と欧州単一特許が稼働に向けておおよそ8か月と見込まれる準備期間についに入ったことなどを投稿しました。

欧州は特許制度および裁判所がまとまっておらず、EUという巨大な経済圏があるにも関わらず、国によって特許の有効無効や侵害非侵害の判断がバラバラで予測可能性が低かったり、そもそも特許の登録費用や訴訟が国ごとなので費用も馬鹿にならないなど、EUのメリットを享受できにくい状況がありました。

そんな中、非常に長い混迷の時期を抜け、やっと立ち上げの目途が立ちつつある欧州統一特許裁判所と欧州単一特許。注目も挙がる中、欧州特許庁が欧州統一特許裁判所と欧州単一特許のオンラインセミナーを行うようです。時間割をみると特に冒頭の1時間ほどでUnitary patent packageの話をするようですね。
