ES: Abril y el Final de las Patentes de Software/FFII Piden al Parlamento Europeo Aplazar la Cooperación Reforzada en Materia de Patentes Unitaria Después de Opinión de la CJEU

(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: Declaración publicado en Abril Final de las Patentes de software/FFII (lanzado hace unos momentos)

Estimados Miembros del Parlamento Europeo,



Nosotros, como organizaciones sin fines de lucro que actúan en el ámbito de la política de patentes, estámos preocupados por la vía rápida de la propuesta para mejorar la cooperación sobre la patente única (NLE/2010/0384), que fue votado en la JURI comisión el 27 de enero. Teniendo en cuenta que el Tribunal de Justicia (TJUE) publicará en breve su dictamen sobre la legalidad de una jurisdicción propuesta para la solución de los litigios relacionados con la patente única y teniendo en cuenta que esta propuesta implica la transferencia de poder legislativo del Parlamento Europeo a la Oficina Europea de Patentes (OEP ) [1], creemos que sería prudente esperar a que la opinión del TJUE, de manera que pueda haber un debate informado, antes de decidir esta importante cuestión.

La propuesta actual de una patente unitaria [2], exige una jurisdicción unificada con una corte central. Según la Comisión, la propuesta actual es similar a la europea y la propuesta de la Unión Europea Tribunal de Patentes (TPEUE). El TJUE está revisando la propuesta TPEUE pero no ha emitido aún su dictamen sobre el cumplimiento de los Tratados de la UE. Esta opinión está lejos de ser una formalidad: los Defensores Generales del TJUE fueron muy críticos con el proyecto y considera que es incompatible con los Tratados de la UE [3], debido a los nuevos fallos del tribunal de patentes tendría un impacto directo en la legislación de la UE sin ningún control de instituciones de la UE.

Además, la propuesta actual consiste en delegar todo el procedimiento pre-concesión de la patente unitaria a la Oficina Europea de Patentes OEP, cuyos excesos de concesión de patentes han sido denunciados en varias ocasiones. Existiendo fuera de la UE, la OEP ya tiene muy poca supervisión. El principal de control democrático que existe es que el Parlamento Europeo todavía tiene la competencia para legislar. La propia junta de la OEP, su Cámara de Recursos reconoció la necesidad de un verdadero cuerpo legislativo en el sistema de patentes en un dictamen publicado en mayo de 2010, sobre el tema de las patentes de software, diciendo que "Cuando el desarrollo jurídico judicial impulsada encuentra sus límites, es el momento para que los legisladores se hagan cargo de "[4]. Cuando la opinión del TJUE se publica, puede contener sugerencias útiles sobre cómo añadir la supervisión necesaria para tal sistema.

Solicitamos respetuosamente que el Parlamento Europeo de aplazar la votación sobre la cooperación reforzada hasta la publicación del dictamen del la CJEU.

[2] Esta cooperación se llevará a cabo por un reglamento sobre la patente única, que cubrirá todos los Estados miembros participantes, asopposed a la patente europea actual, que se rige por la Oficina Europea de Patentes (OEP), que es en realidad un montón de diferentes nacionales designadas patentes.
