Unitary patent not for Poland?
Poland was one of the 25 EU Member States that participate in the enhanced cooperation on the establishment of a unitary patent protection. However, recently a revived discussion has been ongoing in Poland, whether or not to accept the current wording of the regulations related to the unitary patent system and the Agreement on the Unitary Patent Court. Regulatory projects assume that a Unitary Patent would have to be translated only into three languages – English, French, and German. Moreover, there is no provision for the establishment of a local division of the Court of First Instance in Poland at the moment, which significantly limits the access of Polish units to the patent litigation system.
