The Unitary Patent and the Rule of Law at the European Patent Office
Dr. Ingve Björn Stjerna is a Rechtsanwalt in Düsseldorf, practicing patent infringement law.
On his website, Dr. Stjerna published an article in English and German about the Unitary Patent and comments on the adequacy of the legal protection at the European Patent Office especially in view of the recent events culminating in the suspension of a Boards of Appeal member by the President (see pages 3 and 4): "The incident of 3 December 2014 shows that the situation at the EPO has very serious deficiencies with regard to the Rule of Law".
