overview of the unitary patent problemoverview of the unitary patent problemPosted Dec 12, 2012 12:25 UTC (Wed) by coriordan (guest, #7544)In reply to: overview of the unitary patent problem by Cyberax Parent article: FSFE: European Parliament adopts unitary patent
The problem you mention is theoretical. Patent holders weren't doing that, so "solving" that problem isn't a win.
Patent holders were picking the most friendly of the large countries (usually Germany, sometimes the UK) and suing there. Germany and the UK both have specialised patent courts. Judges from these courts will be obvious candidates to sit on the new court. So the worst parts of the old system are going to become the rule for the whole of Europe under the new system.
