The year 2021 has seen further unexpected developments on the way to the implementation of the unitary patent protection system in Europe.

It was speculated behind the scenes that the nearly three years of waiting for the ruling in this case could have been related to Brexit, since the final withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU structures created problems also from the UPCA perspective. However, from that moment on, things have been happening surprisingly fast.
