Case 4
When Unitary Patent Protection (UPP) is registered for an EP granted patent, a C0 record is created listing the participating UP countries, the overall Unitary Patent (UP) status, and the status of the participating countries. The status used for active UP-participating countries is "In-force UP". For example, EP-3412222-C0:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<ifi-integrated-content publication-type="G" subject-area="Mechanical">
<ifi-patent-status>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="EP">Active</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="AT">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="BE">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="BG">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="DE">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="DK">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="EE">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="FI">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="FR">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="IT">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="LT">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="LU">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="LV">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>

<ifi-patent-status-description country="SE">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
<ifi-patent-status-description country="SI">In-force UP</ifi-patent-status-description>
</ifi-patent-status> |
Similarly, the granted EP-B* record shows countries participating in the UP as "In-Force UP", while the remaining countries follow the classical or national validation procedures (i.e., "Active", "In-force", or "Not-in-force"). B* records where the UPP has been requested will also contain "yes" in the ep-up-requested flag. This flag acknowledges that there has been a request, but does not necessarily indicate registration. For example, the XML for EP-3412222-B1 appears as:
