In November 2020, the European Commission published a report on its evaluation of the SPC Regulations (SWD(2020) 292 final). Recently, FICPI Sweden gave it's comments to this report, emphasizing the importance of keeping the the basic purposes of patent protection in mind, if amendments of the SPC provisions are being considered. FICPI Sweden hopes for an open and transparent process, and a stronger focus on the patent protection offered by an SPC, if the EU Commission considers any radical changes to the SPC system.
