"At the moment, the internal market is particularly fragmented due to the high costs of patent protection in the European Union, and European inventors are unable to enjoy all the benefits of the single market. The difficulty arises when the latter try to obtain the best level of protection across the whole of the Union. This situation has an adverse impact on the EU’s competitiveness as activities involving innovation produce human capital which tends to be more mobile than in other areas.
The current less favourable conditions for innovation make the European Union a less attractive place for creativity and innovation, for European and non-European inventors alike. I voted for this recommendation as enhancing cooperation within a group of Member States in the area of unitary patent protection will safeguard the interests of the Union, based on the fact that it will boost the EU’s competitiveness and make it more attractive to the rest of the world. Furthermore, creating unitary patent protection for a group of Member States would improve the level of patent protection and remove the costs and complexity associated with the relevant territories, which would facilitate scientific and technological progress and the operation of the internal market."@en1
