Start of the EPO's transitional measures for the introduction of the Unitary Patent

The European Patent Office has set the start of its transitional measures for the introduction of the Unitary Patent to 1 January 2023.

As of that date, patent applicants may file early requests for unitary effect and requests for a delay in issuing the decision to grant a European patent. The measures are applicable until the entry into operation of the Unitary Patent Protection system which is expected to be on 1 April 2023.
