              Unitary Patent: A New Gateway to Patent Protection in Europe

              The European patent with unitary effect (Unitary Patent) came into effect on June 1, 2023, providing applicants with a new route to patent protection in Europe. To support patent applicants and their legal advisors, Questel and its independent IP law firm partners offer a wide range of dedicated European Patent, Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court (UPC) opt-out support services[1].
