Traduction de «Tribunal fédéral des brevets » (Français → Anglais) :

Supporters of the EPLA make reference to the USA’s central federal patent court, but this system has led to excessive use of patent, and a considerable volume of litigation and malicious threats of litigation.

The nub of the issue is the attempt to set up a European patent litigation organisation and a European patents court, whose decisions would override those of the national courts of each Member State.

Would it not therefore make sense for the European Patent Court to be based in the same place as the European Patent Office?

The act further stipulates that the federal government is required to use the official language chosen by the other parties in a civil case to which it is a party before a federal court and that any final decision, order or judgment issued by any federal court must be made available simultaneously in both official languages under the circumstances specified in the legislation.

The processing of these cases includes 30 days for CIC to refer the case to the Immigration and Refugee Board; 35 days for the claimant to file a personal information form, which sets out the basis of the refugee claim; 10 months for the IRB to render a decision; 15 days to file for leave to seek judicial review of a negative IRB decision at the federal court, running concurrently with 30 days to file an application for a post-claim risk assessment, which takes CIC seven months, on average, to decide, during which time the federal court takes an average of four to six months to decide whether to grant leave to seek judicial appeal.
