Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court

It is expected that in 2023 the Unified Patent Court will start its jurisdiction and Unitary Patents will then be available.

This book gives an overview about this important field but also includes strategic considerations, especially concerning the questions:

• Should I "opt-out" my European patents or not?
• Should the Unified Patent Court be addressed?
• How should a procedure before the Unified Patent Court be prosecuted?
• How do I defend myself if I am attacked?

For all involved in the field of patents in Europe this book is a valuable tool, especially because rather than being a textbook it carries out comprehensive and practical strategic considerations and from that gives concrete suggestions for measures one might need to take.

It is directed to all active in the field of patents in Europe, including patent and R&D departments of companies as well as attorneys-at-law and patent attorneys in Europe and outside.
