The governments of Spain and Italy have filed complaints with the European Court of Justice calling for the annullment of a March European Council decision to create an EU unitary patent.
The Council authorised “enhanced cooperation in the area of the creation of unitary patent protection” on 10 March (IPW, European Policy, 13 April 2011).
Arguments include lack of competence and misuse of powers.
German patent attorney Axel Horn, who posted the filings to his LinkedIn discussion, called them “no surprise.”
- Spain filing.
- Italy filing.
