EPO President António Campinos yesterday met with Alexander Ramsay, Chair of the Unified Patent Court Preparatory Committee, the representatives of the participating member states in charge of the five work streams for the Preparatory Committee, as well as Jérôme Debrulle, the Chair of the Select Committee of the Administrative Council in charge of the Unitary Patent. The meeting enabled participants to update each other on progress in preparing the remaining tasks to be undertaken for the launch of the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court (UPC).

欧洲专利局主席安东尼奥·坎皮诺斯昨天会见了统一专利法院筹备委员会主席亚历山大·拉姆齐、筹备委员会五个工作流程的成员国代表以及负责统一专利的行政委员会主席杰罗姆·德布鲁勒。会议使得与会者能够互相沟通为启动统一专利和统一专利法院的剩余准备工作的进展情况。

President Campinos emphasised the importance of close co-operation between all partners in the final preparatory phase: "The start of the provisional application period last month gave the signal that the UPC/UPP package will soon become a reality," he said. "I am confident that thanks to the well-proven co-operation of our dedicated teams and the coordination of our joint efforts, we will be able to deliver the final tasks as planned and usher in the long-awaited Unitary Patent to the benefit of our users."

坎皮诺斯主席强调了所有合作伙伴在最后准备阶段密切合作的重要性：“上个月临时申请期的开始发出了一个信号，即统一专利和统一专利法院的计划将很快成为现实。“我相信，由于我们敬业的团队间的充分合作以及我们的共同努力，我们将能够按计划完成最终任务，并迎来期待已久的统一专利，使我们的用户受益。”

Alexander Ramsay, Chair of the UPC Preparatory Committee, stated: "It is hugely encouraging to have come this far. We are now highly motivated to work, together with our partners, to conclude the preparations."

统一专利法院筹备委员会主席亚历山大·拉姆齐表示：“进展能够走到这一步，非常鼓舞人心。我们现在非常积极地与我们的合作伙伴一起完成筹备工作。”

Jérôme Debrulle, Chair of the Select Committee, said: "This major long-awaited reform of the European patent system has never been so close. The EPO Select Committee in charge of the implementation of the Unitary Patent will complete its work by 30 June 2022. "

专责委员会主席杰罗姆·德布鲁勒表示：“这项期待已久的欧洲专利制度重大改革从未如此触手可及。负责实施统一专利的欧洲专利局专责委员会将于2022年6月30日完成工作。”

The Unitary Patent and the Unified Patent Court are the building blocks of the Unitary Patent package which will supplement and strengthen the existing centralised European patent-granting system. Unitary patents will make it possible to obtain uniform patent protection in the participating EU member states which have ratified the UPC Agreement, by submitting a single request to the EPO, making the protection of inventions for patent holders simpler and more cost effective.

统一专利和统一专利法院是统一专利计划的组成部分，它将补充和加强现有的集中式欧洲专利授予系统。统一专利将实现通过向欧洲专利局提交一项申请，在已批准统一专利协议的欧盟成员国中获得统一的专利保护，从而使专利持有人的发明保护更简单、更具成本效益。

The UPC will be a common court of the participating member states with jurisdiction for infringement and revocation actions concerning patents granted by the EPO. This specialised court will make the Europe-wide enforcement of patents easier, offer greater legal certainty and reduce costs resulting from litigation in multiple jurisdictions.

统一专利法院将成为参与成员国的共同法院，对涉及欧洲专利局授予的专利的侵权和撤销诉讼具有管辖权。这个专门的法院将使欧洲范围内的专利执法变得更加容易，提供更大的法律确定性并降低因在多个司法管辖区进行诉讼而产生的成本。

欧洲在过去四十年中一直大力推进建立“统一专利制度”。2012年，欧洲议会和其成员国通过了一系列法律决定实施该项新制度。该制度目前也未正式生效，不过在2022年迎来了希望的曙光。

统一专利指的是专利权人可以通过向欧洲专利局提交单一请求，在多达25个欧盟成员国获得专利保护，从而使申请程序更简单，对申请人来说更具成本效益。

统一专利法院是由参与的欧盟成员国设立的国际法院，旨在处理单一专利和欧洲专利的侵权和有效性问题，减少昂贵的平行诉讼并提高法律的确定性。

2021年9月27日德国签署批准了《统一专利法院协议》的必要法案。根据规则，在其批准的4个月后，该协议生效。如果一切准备工作顺利，统一专利法院有望最早于2022年9月左右开始运行。
