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.
