"Mr President, I have long supported the single European patent, as it will make it more attractive to invest in innovation, enable companies to better protect their know-how, speed up the transfer of knowledge from research into practice and perhaps better protect us against the influx of counterfeits onto the internal market. It is also a great challenge. Our competitiveness will be undermined by the fact that, after 10 years, the Council has achieved nothing more than enhanced cooperation. I welcome the fact that the Czech Republic has reassessed its position and has decided to join the negotiations. At the same time, I recognise the sensitivity of the precedent set by enhanced cooperation, particularly for some of the large states, as it involves a language regime. However, I believe it will benefit all researchers in the EU.
It is important for patents to be as inexpensive as they are in the US, and I therefore hope that the Council will carry out further simplifications. It is important to have a new judicial system for European patents, which should clarify a number of questions to do with software and biotechnology patents. I support the proposal for enhanced cooperation."@en1
