European Patent Litigation Agreement - Content

Content

The 2003 draft agreement provides the creation of a "European Patent Judiciary (EPJ)", comprising:

  • a "European Patent Court" competent to decide on infringement relating to patents of EPO member states and including a "European Patent Court of Appeal"; and
  • an "Administrative Committee".

The European Patent Judiciary (EPJ) would make current national patent courts obsolete. However, the EPJ may install regional chambers.

Famous quotes containing the word content:

    People disparage knowing and the intellectual life, and urge doing. I am content with knowing, if only I could know.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Let us have a fair field! This is all we ask, and we will be content with nothing less. The finger of evolution, which touches everything, is laid tenderly upon women. They have on their side all the elements of progress, and its spirit stirs within them. They are fighting, not for themselves alone, but for the future of humanity. Let them have a fair field!
    Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
