How will the unitary patent system work, and how will its entry into force affect pending and granted European patents?

On 7 April 2017 we will answer these and other questions during a seminar in Pisa, organised by the Joint Technology Transfer Office of the Scuola Superiore S. Anna with Società Italiana Brevetti.

Our partner and European Patent Attorney Elisabetta Papa will begin by explaining the basic principles that underlie the protection of technical innovation. She will then look into the main new features of the unitary patent package and finally focus on the practical implications that the entry into force of the unitary patent may bring fro the owners of granted and pending European patent applications.
