EU commissioner calls for patent translation agreement
|
 Brussels, Belgium (EUObserver): EU internal market commissioner Charlie McCreevy has expressed his frustration over member states' inability to agree on a common European patent and is calling for EU companies to put pressure on their home governments. The European Commission and companies from Europe, as well as the rest of the world, are complaining that the European patent system is too slow and too expensive. At the moment, persons and companies applying for a patent have to do so in many different languages and pay for it 25 times in order to get an EU-wide patent.
