The Unitary Patent Package: Twelve Reasons for ConcernReto HiltyMax Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law Thomas JaegerMax Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law Matthias LampingMax Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law Hanns UllrichMax Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law October 17, 2012 Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property & Competition Law Research Paper No. 12-12 Abstract: A balanced, innovation-friendly and uniform patent system is indispensable for Europe. However, the latest EU proposal for a patent package (Patent Regulation and flanking court system) is both dangerous and misguided. While a superficial glance may create the false impression of a patent law advancement through the proposal, it instead actually threatens to forestall the necessary legal progress and innovation capacities for the foreseeable future. It might prove disastrous to implement a patent system which is already known to be detrimental from both the legal as well as the innovation perspectives. This paper provides a short introduction to the major reasons for concern regarding the current proposals and explains why it is imperative to reconsider the proposals entirely afresh.
