IP2Innovate submits feedback to the European Commission Consultation on the Single Market Strategy 2025

On 28 January, IP2Innovate submitted its key recommendations for the upcoming EU Single Market Strategy 2025, highlighting the need to modernize patent enforcement in Europe.

In the submission, IP2Innovate stresses that consistent application of proportionality requirement to patent enforcement is essential for the functioning of the Single Market.  Modernization of the EU IPR Enforcement Directive through targeted amendments is needed to fully exploit the potential of the Single Market to boost Europe’s productivity.

IP2Innovate believes that, after 20 years, now is the time to modernize the IPRED through targeted amendments to ensure that courts in the EU Member States and the newly established Unified Patent Court consistently and effectively consider the proportionality of remedies in their handling of patent litigation cases. Such targeted amendments would ensure the consistent and effective application of proportionality across all EU Member States, creating a more predictable legal environment that supports the free movement of goods and services within the Single Market. By fostering legal certainty and reducing market inefficiencies, these changes will unlock the full potential of the Single Market to drive Europe’s productivity and competitiveness.

More work needed to improve public access to UPC patent case documents

Last month a law firm submitted a request for documents under rule 262.1 (b) of the UPC Rules of Procedure, which ensures that written pleadings and evidence in patent litigation proceedings are available to the public “upon reasoned request.” The firm is calling on the central division of the Unified Patent Court in Munich to make available all written pleadings and evidence for a pending case in the court. The aim of the law firm, Mathys & Squire, is to establish a clear and consistent path for the public to access these documents in the future. IP2Innovate fully supports this initiative. We have been campaigning for more transparency in patent litigation for many years, and welcomed the improvement to the status quo that the UPC’s rules promised.
