Today is the last day of the consultation period -which closes at 11:45pm- launched by the UK Intellectual Property Office on “legislative changes to implement the UPC agreement and comply with the unitary patent Regulation”.
The UK Intellectual Property Office is “seeking views on the drafting, structure and effect of the draft legislation which will allow for the implementation of the Unified Patent Court Agreement and the associated EU Regulations which introduce the Unitary Patent.”
They are also asking for relevant evidence on the way that the proposals will work in practice in order to inform our assumptions about economic impacts, and to assist with decisions on the detail of proposed legislation.
