UK Takes Next Step in UPC Plan

2017/06/27

The UK has taken the next step in its Unified Patent Court (UPC) plan by laying out secondary legislation in Parliament. The Unified Patent Court (Immunities and Privileges) Order 2017 is the final legislative step in the UK’s ratification of the UPC. Separate legislation will be laid in the Scottish Parliament in due course, according to the UK Intellectual Property Office. Because the orders are affirmative orders they will be debated in both Houses of Parliament and will also require Privy Council approval. Once the legislation has been passed the UK will be able to formally ratify the UPC Agreement.
