Sweden and Belgium have ratified the Unified Patent Court Agreement!

June has seen two new ratifications of the Unified Patent court Agreement by Sweden and Belgium, respectively on 05th and 06th June 2014.

Sweden had already announced earlier this year that it will form a regional division of the UPC together with Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, which explains this quick ratification. The Nordic-Baltic court will operate in english only.

You can find a summary of the ratification progress here and on the site of the European Commission, as well as a map of the countries which have already ratified here.
