The current proposal has the following problems:

|

No due process: Under the current proposal, the EPO not only awards
|
||||
the patent, but also gets to make the final decision on whether
|
||||
it remains valid when someone complains. The EPO court also lacks
|
||||
a broader perspective of the social costs of patents.

We demand that the European Court of Justice must be the final

court of appeal for patent complaints.

Patents on software: Software patents are seriously hurting
|
||||
Europe's technology companies. The EPO has been granting software
|
||||
patents for decades, even though they are illegal under the
|
||||
European Patent Convention. The unitary patent would make this
|
||||
problem worse.

We demand that the current proposal should explicitely exclude

computer programs from patentability.

Giving up on innovation policy: Patents are a tool to promote
|
||||
innovation. Europe needs a more active innovation policy. Under the
|
||||
current proposal, the EU is handing over part of its sovereignty to
|
||||
an organisation that it has no control over - the EPO.[fn:3]
