Sie können jetzt beim Hinzufügen eines EP-Projekts im Portal ein Opt-out für das Einheitliche Patentgericht anfordern. Aktivieren Sie dazu das Kontrollkästchen "UPC Opt-Out beantragen" in einem beliebigen EP-Einreichungsworkflow.
As part of this process, check the Applicant Information section to verify applicant data, which is automatically populated from the EPO. Applicant data now includes a new Designated States field. It contains information about the designated states for each applicant, as listed on EP Register.
Ensuring applicant information is correct helps avoid issues with the opt-out application. If changes are needed, it is now possible to delete existing applicants and enter new ones with corrected information.
The Request UPC Opt-Out option is disabled if the patent is already opted out of the UPC, as indicated by the Current UPC Status: Opted Out field.
Please also note the updated terms and conditions, which now include a UPC Opt-Out Services provision.
