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:

    Yet the New Testament treats of man and man’s so-called spiritual affairs too exclusively, and is too constantly moral and personal, to alone content me, who am not interested solely in man’s religious or moral nature, or in man even.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    What is most original in a man’s nature is often that which is most desperate. Thus new systems are forced on the world by men who simply cannot bear the pain of living with what is. Creators care nothing for their systems except that they be unique. If Hitler had been born in Nazi Germany he wouldn’t have been content to enjoy the atmosphere.
    Leonard Cohen (b. 1934)
