传统专利权具有国家地域性,长期阻碍着技术创新跨国合作与流通。而根据正在议定中的欧盟专利规则产生的欧盟专利权,将作为一个整体在所有欧盟成员国普遍有效,诉讼也由欧盟诉讼制度管辖,因而具有与传统专利权不同的超国家地域性。欧盟专利的诞生将降低创新跨国专利保护费用、提高创新在多国专利保护的稳定性、消除国家地域性对科技创新的阻碍,在专利制度国际一体化进程中,具有里程碑式的重要意义。
Traditional patents have country territoriality, which impede cross-border cooperation and flow of technological innovation for a long time. The European Union patents, created by the European Union patent rules, will be generally effective in all EU member states, with the European litigation system having its litigation jurisdiction, The EU patents have the supranational territoriality, which are different from the traditional patents. As a result, the EU patents will reduce the cost of the cross-border patent protection, increase the stability of multi-national patent protection, eliminate the obstacles to the innovation caused by country territoriality. And it has important significance in the process of international integration of patent system.
