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.

Professors Hofmann and Raue: Taking proportionality seriously in the Unified Patent Court

Two German law professors, Dr Franz Hofmann and Dr Benjamin Raue have pooled forces to publish a joint paper this week on the delicate issue of injunctions and damages for the infringement of patents. The paper, entitled ‘Injunctions and Damages for the Infringement of Patents under the UPCA; an Analysis in the Light of the Principle of Proportionality’ calls for a more nuanced approach to patent infringement cases, and it urges judges of the recently launched UPC to consider damages instead of automatic injunctions as a remedy in their rulings.
