European Patent Organisation flags
The Council of the European Patent Organisation has backed a strategic approach to handling future workload in the European patent system. The proposal is outlined in a study presented by the Board of the Organisation's Administrative Council and was endorsed at the Administrative Council's meeting on 4 December.

It contains a set of strategic recommendations on how the European Patent Office and the patent offices of the member states should best address the challenge of ever-growing numbers of patent applications, increasing backlogs and securing the quality standards of European patents.
