-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.lexology.com | Current situation with regard to unitary patent system - Commentary - LexologyFeb 22 01:04
schestowitz" The aim of the unitary patent system is to offer users a cost-effective option for patent protection and dispute settlement across the participating EU member states. The system is expected to be up and running by the second half of 2022 or the start of 2023.
