Le brevet unitaire
"The EPO mass-produces broad and trivial patents on unpatentable subject matters in order to finance itself, without much regard to competitiveness of European industries. The existing unitary system has already gone out of control, and the post-grant unitary system under discussion now would make the system even more self-referential and unreformable East-Asians are already among the big customers of the EPO and as their share increases the protectionist effect of the system decreases."
- HartmutPilch le fondateur de la FFII
"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy. Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or democratically elected legislators."
- Benjamin Henrion FFII President
- Unified Patent Court Agreement = UPCA
- Juridiction Unifiée sur le Brevet = JUB
En Europe la reglementation relative au brevet unitaire ( il s'agit de la juridiction unifiée en matière de brevets ) a été approuvée le 11 decembre 2012 par le Parlement européen (par 483 pour / 682 votants)
Cette nouvelle réglementation est rentrée en vigueur en juin 2023 :
