Overview

F.HOW TO REGISTER TRANSFERS, LICENCES AND OTHER RIGHTS AND FILE STATEMENTS ON LICENCES OF RIGHT 

112‍Rights relating to Unitary Patens such as transfers, licences and other rights (rights in rem, pledges, security interests etc.) and any legal means of execution may be entered in the Register for unitary patent protection. Rules 22 to 24 EPC apply mutatis mutandis. Rules 22 to 24 EPC apply mutatis mutandis to entries made in the Register for unitary patent protection, namely transfers, licences and other rights and any legal means of execution (see Rule 20(2)(b) UPR in conjunction with Rule 16(1)(j) UPR). This means that registrations in the Register for unitary patent protection follow the same rules as registrations for European patent applications.
