ESAB statement on the unitary patent package

2014/05/04

The EPO's Economic and Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB) has issued a statement on the Unitary Patent package, based on a study commissioned to Europe Economics and a report of a two-day workshop. At its third annual meeting in February 2014, ESAB members decided for their 2014 activities programme to resume the work already engaged on the possible impact of a grace period in Europe from an economic perspective and also to study the following question: "What is the impact of the trend of increasing patent concentration (patent pools, patent funds, new patent intermediaries, acquisitions of patent portfolios) on competition and innovation policy?"
