Subject: [Npos_2018] Christoph in Vienna
Dear all,
We had Christoph here in Vienna last week for a meeting with the Austrian Patent Office and Ministry. We will give an update at the next teleconference, but in short: they will help us, but we need to find countries to support their efforts, and there is no quick fix. Also, they will have to amend the national patent law to implement the Unitary Patent Convention if/once it comes into effect – as this is probably the case in the other states, this could be a good chance for us to get changes at the national leve.
Here are a couple of media reports from the visit (in German):
