schestowitzFor me the only possible solution is to amend the Protocol by removing any reference to the UK and to agree that if a seat is not available (e.g. London and Budapest) at the date of entry into force of the Agreement, a local seat, which is already available (e.g. Milan), temporarily takes its place.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzI cannot avoid to remark that in five years the Agreement could have been amended, when the “team UPC” tried to square the circle…Jul 14 00:39

schestowitz@ Patent robotJul 14 00:39
schestowitzIn theory your proposal is nice, but the problem is less at the level of the protocols than at the level of the UPCA itself.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzArt 7(2) UPCA exists as well annex 1 which is part of the agreement.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzIt is difficult to see that a statement which is as clear as such in the agreement can be ignored and a replacement be decided just like this, the more since the change would only be temporary.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzArt 87(2) UPCA which has been envisaged to allow the change from provisional to permanent is not fit for the purpose of sneaking in another country:Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzArt 87(3) provides that “The Administrative Committee may amend this Agreement to bring it into line with an international treaty relating to patents or Union law.”Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzIt is difficult to see that the change proposed would indeed correspond bring the UPCA into line with an international treaty relating to patents or Union law.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzArt 87(3) UPCA is just there to align the UPCA with legislation adopted by all the contracting state or new Union law which is transformed in national law.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzArt 87(3) UPCA avoids having to ratify an amendment of the UPCA if the corresponding legislation is already part of the national legislation in the contracting states.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzArt 87(3) UPCA is not there to fundamentally amend the UPCA.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzThe only way of doing this correctly is to amend the UPCA and start a new round of ratifications.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzThis would mean that the UPCA would be delayed for quite a while and the interest for it could, and most probably would, vanish.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzThat is why any means to start the UPC as soon as possible is good for its proponents and why they refuse to amend the UPCA.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzOn the other hand, how could a representative suggest to a client not to opt-out which an agreement being on such wobbly feet.Jul 14 00:39
schestowitzThe first party losing at the UPC would make everything possible to have the UPCA screened by the CJEU.Jul 14 00:39

schestowitz“The first party losing at the UPC would make everything possible to have the UPCA screened by the CJEU.”Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzThe previous project of 2009 had its controversial rules of procedure to be approved by the CJEU. It was replaced on the UPC by being reviewed by the European Commission.Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzJust ti remember that the complete UPCA was never submitted to the CJEU for a complete review.Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzReplyJul 14 00:40
schestowitzIs the UPCA conform with EU law?Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzJuly 13, 2021 at 9:07 amJul 14 00:40
schestowitzOne wonders why the UPC proponents never wanted to submit the UPCA and its annexes to the EUCJ?Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzThey only ever claimed that that the UPCA is conform with EU law without ever proving it.Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzHow can an agreement allowing removal of a UPC judge from its office (by the Presidium) without having any means of redress be compatible with EU law?. See Art 10 of the Statute.Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzAt the same time the Commission launches an action against a member states for lack of respect of the judicial order.Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzOnly the prior opinion of the European Commission on the compatibility of the Rules of Procedure, or their amendment, with Union law is necessary, cf Art 41(2) UPCA. I could not find any legal requiring that the UPCA should be reviewed by the European Commission.Jul 14 00:40
schestowitzIt is one of the particularity of the English legal system that there can be part-time-judges. This has been taken over in the UPCA. I am not sure that on the continent the notion of part-time judge even exists. Now the UK has left the EU why should this system be kept for the UPC.Jul 14 00:40

schestowitzIn T 33/19 of April 22, 2021, the same Board, in a different composition, dealt with both requirements sufficiency of disclosure and inventive step. For Art. 83 EPC, the Board found that the claimed pharmaceutical effect was plausible from the teaching of the application as a whole and the common general knowledge, in the absence of any experimental data for proving the effect, even less an effect superior to the prior art. For inventive step, the Jul 14 22:54
schestowitzBoard concluded, while the prior art provided the skilled person with an incentive to investigate whether the specific pharmaceutical substance could treat the illness as claimed, it could not be considered to provide the skilled person with a reasonable expectation of success. It seems that there are two different levels of plausibility if the applicant has merely followed a direction suggested by the prior art. In such a situation, is there a Jul 14 22:54
