Opponents of the
EPLA argue that patent litigation costs would increase, rather than decrease, under the
EPLA.
EPLA estimates that there are more than 70,000 horse owners in the UK and the equine worming treatment market is valued at pounds 75m annually.
The
EPLA has also been attacked because of the debate regarding
Synbra's
EPLA, trademarked BioFoam, will be colored light green to distinguish it from conventional white EPS.
One of the French government's principal objections was that the
EPLA proposed a central European Patent Court under the control of national patents judges.
30) France: Why We Oppose the
EPLA, MANAGING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, Jan.
As a default rule, the
EPLA proposes that the European Patent Court have one central court of In'st instance (the Central Chamber), but the creation of regional chambers in any member state is also allowed.
EPLA got the 'Presidential Award for Good Manufacturing Practices' (GMP) on merit.
Many PGE officials and administrators interviewed claimed that the orderly entry of the
EPLA into Asmara, the absence of reprisals against collaborators and the smooth transition to government was facilitated by the presence of |our people'.
EPLA also supplies the pet and livestock market with wormers.
Ideally there will be a debate with ministers that would provide endorsement for working on the best compromises on the
EPLA and a Community jurisdiction.
The document also responds to concerns from France, backed by other member states, that a system based on
EPLA (see box) would be too independent of the Community framework.
