Parties
Applicant: Council of the European Union
Re:
Request for an opinion — Compatibility, with the EC Treaty, of a draft agreement creating a unified patent litigation system — European and Community Patents Court, composed of a court of first instance and a court of appeal — Attribution to that court of jurisdiction to determine, in particular, disputes relating to the validity and/or application of Community patents, linked to the power or the obligation for that court to refer to the Court of Justice questions for a preliminary ruling on the interpretation of the EC Treaty or the validity and interpretation of acts adopted by the European Union institutions — Adverse effect on the autonomy of the Community legal order and the primacy of Community law?
Operative part
The envisaged agreement creating a unified patent litigation system (currently called ‘European and Community Patents Court’) is not compatible with the provisions of the EU Treaty and the FEU Treaty.
