After having failed to agree for decades, on 4 December 2009, the Council of Ministers unanimously adopted conclusions on an enhanced patent system for Europe. Upon adoption, the European Commission highlighted that the importance of this agreement cannot be underestimated. It will at last provide for a Single Market in patented technology and thus promote innovation, growth and employment in the EU. Once implemented, the reform will allow innovators to save billions of euros each year. |
