| schestowitz | The German Constitutional Court has already agreed in several instances that sovereignty may be ceded to the relevant supranational institutions: UN, ECJ and the ECB being notable examples. | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | This is true. But within limits. It was the ECJ itself that said it had supremacy over national courts in judgements, it wasn't written into the treaties. I don't think it went into the Lisbon Treaty either, though I might be remembering that wrong - I'm sure someone will correct me if so. | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | However, even then, the German constitutional court has said that it is the only guardian of the German constitution (though isn't it a basic law and not a constitution?), and it has the final say. Changes were made to the Eurozone bail-out system for example, even though the ECJ had ruled it legal, in order to comply with objections from the German court. | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | So you never know. Although one of its stipulations was that the German government don't have the right to give unlimited commitments of money to the EU, they have to be limited to known amounts and voted on, without changing the constitution/basic law. But I'm sure one of the things the German economists who took the case argued was that the ECB Target 2 system was just such an unlimited committment - and the court didn't rule in favour of | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | that. Even though it clearly is such. German Target 2 exposure is now heading for the € trillion mark - the Italian Central bank alone owes the Bundesbank €400 billion. | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | It's one of the hidden flaws of the Eurozone, where the balances were supposed to equal out over time. And haven't. Though I'm still not convinced it isn't so complicated as to not matter - in that even if Germany has lost a vast amount of wealth via the system, the number isn't really actually that vast when you compare it to wealth generated in the 20 years of the Euro project. Plus the "debt" would be impossible to collect anyway - so it's | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | better to just call it a central bank accounting system and forget all about it. | Jan 17 01:42 |

| schestowitz | though isn't it a basic law and not a constitution | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | It's both: Grundgesetz == basic law and Verfassung == constitution. The two are used interchangeably. | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | There are several issues where the GCC has unequivocally ceded sovereignty to the ECJ. The ECB judgement made reference to it – the ECJ sits above the GCC – but the ECB was trying to do things that weren't covered by its mandate (buying national debt directly is explicitly prohibited) so that the Bundesbank could, and is, restricted in its asset purchases. The rulings from "Karlsruhe" as the court is also referred, though another court | Jan 17 01:42 |
| schestowitz | also sits there, are usually very well worth reading. | Jan 17 01:42 |

| schestowitz | There's no particular reason that "Europe" has to mean "EU". There are other European organizations, the European Space Agency comes to mind, whose membership extends far beyond the EU. | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | A patent court should be able to determine it's jurisdiction with the agreement of the desired members. If it wants to be EU, fine. If it wants to be pan-European, fine. Obviously (as noted in the article) the legal constraints will be different. It may be easier to restrict it to the EU, but would that be useful? In something as complex as the area of patent law, picking a solution that's easy is likely to result in one that's inadequate. | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | The main issue here must surely be what it is intended to achieve. It seems that the idea is that inventors will be able to file a single patent and have it cover multiple countries, rather than face the cost and difficulty of filing separate patents in every country. A sound idea, but that does require all the countries involved to protect IP in the same way, and the bigger the EU gets the harder it is to have 100% agreement on any complex | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | issue. Many of the existing EU directives are intentionally ambiguous, to allow countries to fudge things enough to claim compliance, but they only work because the countries want them to. Big corporate lawyers earn their living by finding loopholes in such agreements. | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | I can't help but feel that (even without the sordid precedent of Battistelli and the EPO) any patent organization that tries to create a unified set of rules across the EU will do nothing but make lawyers rich, while the small inventors who might hope to gain from a unified international patent will be sidelined. | Jan 17 01:43 |

| schestowitz | The European Patent Organisation is exactly the same. It is HQ'd in Munich and is not legally bound by - nor a part of - the EU. As with ESA, EPO members include nations such as Switzerland. | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | Battistelli aside, a cynic might suggest that the UPC is an attempt to insert a shim into the EPO's neutrality and bring them into the EU bit-by-bit by means of layering in legislation that only applies to EU members and transitioning the EPO's work to EU work, much like the EU doing a MitM on ESA funding and turning ESA projects into "EU Projects delivered by ESA". Galileo springs to mind. | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | There is no legitimate reason why a European Patent administered by the EPO should not be valid in all EPO member states (provided they all ratify it, etc). The EU doesn't need to come into it other than compelling all EU Members to ratify the EPO standard (not theirs!) so that IP can't be subject to a form of arbitrage where copyright infringement can take place within the single market, which would cause all sorts of issues - i.e. Free | Jan 17 01:43 |

| schestowitz | The problem seems to be when the general becomes the specific. Yes, there's no reason Europe has to mean EU, and a patent organisation can certainly extent over more than just the EU, as the EPO demonstrates. The trouble is that the specific proposal for the UPC is defined as being only for the EU. And it also requires the UK to be a signatory. That's a bit of a problem. The whole thing could go back to the drawing board and either accept non- | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | EU members or get rid of the bit about the UK, but that would involve starting over again rather than just getting the existing agreement up and running. | Jan 17 01:43 |
| schestowitz | So sure, there are all kinds of ways to think about how such an idea could be implemented. The problems are with the actual proposal currently on the table. And whatever the decision turns out to be regarding Germany's constitution, any deal that requires a specific country to participate while simultaneously banning them from doing so has a bit of an issue. | Jan 17 01:43 |

| schestowitz | This UPC court will have the last word to validate software patents EU wide, the CJEU will have nothing to say about patent law in Europe. | Jan 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | This is like giving the keys of the patent kingdom to the same people who have been trying to validate software patents for the last 30 years. | Jan 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | The probably is high that this specialized patent court will drift and become very pro-patent, like it happened with the CAFC in the US. | Jan 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | For the last 15 years, the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS) has corrected the deviant practice of those courts, notably on software patents, business method patents, automatic injunctions, and others, and we are now in a match between SCOTUS and CAFC with a score of 8-0 ! | Jan 17 01:46 |
| schestowitz | If the CJEU does not have the last word on patent law, why do we build Europe in the first place? And why do we make an exception for patent law? | Jan 17 01:46 |

| schestowitz | This means UK patents will still exist. And yes a single patent for the whole Euro zone would have been great but they hate the Euro zone so is party time for them. | Jan 17 01:47 |

| schestowitz | As far as I can tell from minimal research, neither the European Patent Office nor its parent the European Patent Organisation is in any way connected to either the EU or the Euro Zone. | Jan 17 01:47 |

| schestowitz | My equally extensive research into Brexiteers suggests that they are unable or unwilling to distinguish "European" from "EU", so I'm not sure your observation actually matters. | Jan 17 01:47 |

| schestowitz | I rather thought the principal Remain strategy was to confuse Europe with the EU; thus anyone disliking the EU must dislike Europe, which means they dislike foreigners, which mean they're racist. Neat. Personally, I haven't grasped why it should be racist to dislike a fundamentally Thatcherite, neoliberal managerial empire like the EU; but then, I never mistook the infinitely fascinating collection of countries for the political organisation | Jan 17 01:47 |
