Communications issued by the EPO in Unitary Patent proceedings are subject to the same notification rules as those applicable in European patent proceedings (see Rule 20(2)(f) UPR in conjunction with Rules 125 to 130 EPC and EPC Guidelines, E‑II, 2). These rules have a particular relevance for the notification of the registration of the unitary effect by the EPO (see 3.14.2).
