Once Germany deposits its instrument of ratification, which will be the 1st March 2023, the sunrise period of three months starts. It is beneficial for owners of European patents and applications to decide whether to opt-in, in other words stay within the UPC, or opt-out during this period.
During the sunrise period Groth & Co offers:
The Unitary patent system includes the introduction of the Unitary patent, which will start on 1st June 2023. At the start of the sunrise period, you will have the option of requesting unitary effect of your EP application and/or validate the EP as before in respective states.
Please contact our expert team or your advisor for further information.
As mentioned above, Groth & Co may help you with requesting a delay of grant or file an early request for unitary effect, see sunriseperiod.
