The European Commission has adopted a Communication on a new industrial property rights strategy for the European Union. Together with the creation of an EU patent and integrated patent jurisdiction, the Communication outlines a number of actions as the keystone to maintain a high-quality industrial property rights system for the region in the 21st century.
It sets out to support inventors in making informed choices on the protection of their industrial property rights and calls for robust enforcement against counterfeiting and piracy. The Communication also intends to ensure that industrial property rights within Europe are of high quality and that they are accessible to all innovators, particularly those workin in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
