Dezember 2012 über die Umsetzung der verstärkten Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Schaffung eines einheitlichen Patentschutzes), which is part of the legal framework governing the Unified Patent Court in Europe.
A European patent granted with the same set of claims in respect of all the participating Member States shall benefit from unitary effect in the participating Member States provided that its unitary effect has been registered in the Register for unitary patent protection.
A European patent granted with different sets of claims for different participating Member States shall not benefit from unitary effect.
A European patent with unitary effect shall have a unitary character. It shall provide uniform protection and shall have equal effect in all the participating Member States.
It may only be limited, transferred or revoked, or lapse, in respect of all the participating Member States.
It may be licensed in respect of the whole or part of the territories of the participating Member States.
The unitary effect of a European patent shall be deemed not to have arisen to the extent that the European patent has been revoked or limited.
