N/AIn the patent chapter of the Code of Economic Law, the provisions related to the rights of the patent holder and to the exceptions and limitations, will be amended by the Law of 19 December 2017, in order to align them to the wording of Articles 25-27 of the UPCA. This will create a level playing field for all right holders, regardless of whether they choose Unitary Patent protection, the European protection or the national protection. These amendments will enter into force on the date of entry into force of the UPCA. |
