IP2Innovate Submits Recommendations for Modernizing the Dutch Patent Act
IP2Innovate has submitted its response to the public consultation on the modernization of the Dutch Patent Act. The response recommends applying proportionality to remedies for patent infringements, incorporating IPRED Article 3(2) into the Dutch Patent Act, and ensuring future-proof patent legislation that enables an innovative and competitive economy.
These recommendations address the issue of injunctions being granted automatically in patent disputes, without a proportionality assessment, creating risks for innovative companies and potentially stifling competition. A more consistent approach to proportionality would foster a more competitive and innovation-driven business environment in the Netherlands.
