Advantages and disadvantages of the Unitary Package are also to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis for European Patent holders.<\/p>\n
The Unitary Package is an additional option for holders of European Patents. If the interest of patent protection extends to multiple Unitary Patent countries and covers a long period in which it is intended to keep the patent alive, this procedure is cost-effective compared to individual validations in individual countries.<\/p>\n
The economic advantage exists even in the case of jurisdictional action in several countries, thus enjoying a single judgment.<\/p>\n
Conversely, if there were to be a negative decision issued by the TUB, it would propagate its effects to all Unitary Patent countries benefiting, as a school case, a competitor seeking to obtain an annulment decision in all countries.<\/p>\n
Costs: certainly the costs of proceedings before the Unified Patent Court will be higher than in proceedings before the courts of European Union states. What is not comparable is the “breakeven point,” or the cost point at which it might be more cost-effective to have one procedure before the Unified Patent Court, rather than a numerous series of procedures before national courts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
