IP2Innovate Submits Recommendations for Modernizing the Dutch Patent Act

IP2Innovate has submitted its response to the public consultation on the modernization of the Dutch Patent Act. The response recommends applying proportionality to remedies for patent infringements, incorporating IPRED Article 3(2) into the Dutch Patent Act, and ensuring future-proof patent legislation that enables an innovative and competitive economy.

These recommendations address the issue of injunctions being granted automatically in patent disputes, without a proportionality assessment, creating risks for innovative companies and potentially stifling competition. A more consistent approach to proportionality would foster a more competitive and innovation-driven business environment in the Netherlands.

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.
