The article, EU States
Sign Patent Litigation Agreement states that 24 out of the 27 EU states
agreed on forming the Unified Patent Court yesterday. Only Spain, Poland, and Bulgaria
did not sign the agreement. The Irish minister, Richard Bruton said that “the
agreement was ‘a tangible expression of creating a single market in a very
important area, the area of patents.’” I agree with minister Bruton, and I think
this incidence promotes the future in the patent litigation system. The hopes for protecting the inventors’ ideas across the border are definitely
approaching. I feel this article presents an inspirational message to the idea
of patents with no border.

This is great that we have international system working to protect intellectual property. It is desperately needed, but it will be even more impressive if they can actually enforce these rules in the countries.
