Project status

Goals and results

Työryhmän tehtävänä on selvittää Lontoon sopimuksen liittymisen vaikutukset ja tehdä esityksensä siitä, tuleeko Suomen liittyä Lontoon sopimukseen. Jos työryhmä päätyy liittymistä puoltavaan ratkaisuun, sen tulisi myös valmistella lainmuutokset hallituksen esitystä varten. Työryhmä voi kuulla asiantuntijoita.











Starting points

Lontoon sopimus on Euroopan patenttisopimuksen (EPC) 65 artiklan soveltamista koskeva liiteasiakirja.

Vuonna 2000 tehdyn Lontoon sopimuksen tarkoituksena on alentaa eurooppapatenttien käännöskustannuksia. Sopimusvaltiot luopuvat, kokonaan tai suurimmaksi osaksi, myönnettyjen eurooppapatenttien kääntämisestä viralliselle kielelleen (EPC 65.1 artikla). Sopimus ei rajoita sopimusvaltioita vaatimasta patentinhakijaa toimittamaan käännöstä patenttiasiakirjoista, jos eurooppapatentti tulee myöhemmin oikeusriidan kohteeksi.

Sopimus on tullut kansainvälisesti voimaan 1.5.2008, ja siinä on nykyisin mukana 14 EPC-valtiota. Liittyminen on vapaaehtoista eli sillä ei ole merkitystä valtion asemaan Euroopan patenttisopimuksen osapuolena.

Sopimuksella on yhteys EU:ssa parhaillaan neuvoteltavaan yhteisöpatenttiasetukseen, jonka tavoitteena on niin ikään vähentää nykyisiä patentointikustannuksia.
