New Webinar Announcement! What: Introduction and Update on the Unitary Patent When: December 11, 2024 10 AM EST Presented by: Dr Nigel S. Clarke (BIO) Stanfield Clarke Associates For more than 50 years the European Institutions have tried to implement a single patent system to support the single European Economy. Projects leading to today´s situation have been called at different times; the "European Union Patent”, “The EU Patent", "Community Patent" "EC Patent" or "COMPAT". The Unitary Patent is none of those things and is strictly the "European Patent With Unitary Effect". This webinar will cover the basics of search examination and grant, country coverage, finding "Unitary Patent" information, and the situation of the Unified Patent Court. Disclaimer: The narrative is rather dynamic with changes happening all the time so this will be a personal snapshot whilst attempting to be as factually correct as possible.
