They have not deemed it necessary to listen to a large number of critical and constructive comments, including those of the Max-Planck-Institute, now they will have to lie in the bed they have made and bear the consequences. After the dust has settled, this political farce will form the model case for political inability and unwillingness hindering European integration.NoMorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-44021260191757273312013-06-03T16:40:04.735+01:002013-06-03T16:40:04.735+01:00"All in all, the actions seem better prepared..."All in all, the actions seem better prepared than the case against enhanced cooperation"<br /><br />It's pretty much the same old arguments and, no matter how well you prepare them, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Or, as is said in Spanish: even if the monkey dresses in silk, it is still a monkey.

To me it seems like the same old bovine excrement, mostly issues that were already dealt with by the CJEU, plus some extra nonsense on top (argument (1) in C-146/13 is particularly egregious, considering that Spain is already a member of the European Patent Organisation, and already recognises the acts of the EPO: is the Spanish government now undermining the validity of EP patents in Spain???).<br /><br />Furthermore, the Spanish government's plea in C-146/13 seems mainly directed to excluding the European Patent Office altogether from any EU patent system. I wonder how this would be conducive to "a fully integrated EU patent".<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-44894070904201040462013-06-03T08:59:09.809+01:002013-06-03T08:59:09.809+01:00I don't resist to recall that the European Par...I don't resist to <a href="https://www.unitary-patent.eu/content/only-gandalf-can-protect-europe-unitary-patent%22" rel="nofollow">recall</a> that the European Parliament has been warned about issues raised here by Spain, and even been proposed some amendments to fix them. The European Parliament, except Greens and some isolated MEPs, has blindly refused to even consider them. Too bad, and shame on them!Gibushttps://www.unitary-patent.eunoreply@blogger.com
