Side by side

Compare organizations

Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.

Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.

Confindustria contributed and agrees with BusinessEurope's position paper on European Commission proposal for mandatory authorization for the crisis management.

Supplementary protection certificate for plant protection products. Recast

Confindustria · filed 1 Apr 2022 · source

A centralized system for the grant and enforcement of a Unitary SPC (“uSPC”) through a single procedure, analogously with what is being achieved with the European Patent with Unitary Effect and Unified Patent Court ( EP-UE and UPC, respectively) is certainly a very desirable option with a view to creating a more predictable, less burdensome and cost-effective system for Europe.
