Unitary Patent System

The Unitary Patent System aims to simplify and unify the process of obtaining patent protection across multiple European countries. Instead of applying separately in each nation, inventors can receive one unified patent that covers several countries within the system. This reduces legal complexity, costs, and administrative work, making it easier for innovations to be protected across Europe efficiently. It's designed to streamline patent enforcement and management, fostering innovation and competitiveness across participating countries by creating a single, coherent patent structure.
