The provisions concerning the reasonable compensation for infringing activities after publication of a European patent application (Article 67 EPC) but before the grant of the European patent will apply to European patents with unitary effect as well (cf. article 72 of the Netherlands Patent Act). Since the UPCA does not contain any substantive provision on the reasonable compensation before grant it is foreseen that article 72 of the Netherlands Patents Act (on the reasonable compensation) will explicitly mention European Patents with unitary effect. |
