In February 2013, the European Union successfully completed more than 30years of negotiations and formally signed an agreement establishing a singleEuropean patent.

The agreement resulted in anumber of advantages, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, suchas the reduction of costs by as much as 80%, simplification of procedures, and theadoption of the Unified Patent Court. With the new unitary patent, intellectualproperty will grow in importance. Yet experts warn that the new patent resultsin new forms of unwanted behavior, such as forum shopping and the emergenceof patent trolls. This study presents both sides—the pros and cons—to predictthe effects on business and cover the widest possible range of experts, providingtheir views on the topic.
