The German Federal Constitutional Court has announced that it will publish a decision at 9.30 am on Friday regarding the complaint against Germany’s adherence to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court (no BvR 739/17).
Germany’s ratification would mean that the system would apply 3-4 months later on a given day (art. 89.1 of the UPCA), although the final preparations would have to be completed under the provisional UPCA application.
