Berlin: The German Constitutional Court on Friday stopped efforts to stop the creation of a united framework to notify and uphold patents in the European Union, finally cleaning barriers that lasted for years.
The court in Karlsruhe rejected two petitions who were looking for orders for laws passed by the German parliament last December to enact the European Union Agreement to reach in 2013 to establish an integrated patent field.
The plaintiff argues that the patent regime throughout the EU violates the German constitutional rights for self-determination of democratic fate and that the 2013 agreement has misstaduated the EU’s superiority of national law.
