Reuters: Portuguese EU Presidency About To Offer Yet Another Patent Jurisdiction Proposal.

Reuters

reports:

"[...] BRUSSELS, Oct 11 (Reuters) - EU President Portugal has proposed a new EU patent jurisdiction to end a deadlock over how to defend innovations under the 27-nation bloc's laws, a document obtained by Reuters showed on Thursday. [...]"

The report further says that the Portuguese proposal would create an EU patent jurisdiction, borrowing heavily from the draft European Patent Litigation Agreement of EPLA which appears to be failed by not gaining appropriate political majorities.
