The coming into force of the Unitary Patent will be a landmark moment in European Law. The Unitary Patent has the power to revolutionize European patent filing strategy. It's been many years in the making, but it is likely to arrive in Spring 2018, and will apply to all European Patent applications pending at that date. Now is the time to consider how this new option can be used as part of your patent filing strategy. This talk will cover ways to make the most of the Unitary Patent, with a particular emphasis on how it can work with common University commercialization models.
