The International Patent Institute (or IIB standing for Institut International des Brevets, its French name) was an intellectual property organisation established on June 6, 1947 in The Hague, Netherlands, by a set of European countries, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
It was integrated into the European Patent Organisation on January 1, 1978.
Its purpose was to centralize patent searching and archiving as well as the resources needed for the prior art searches for its member countries.
European Affairs [A Publication of the European Institute] (1836 words)
The European Patent, however, is neither a national patent nor a unitary patent for the territories of the EPC contracting states.
The European Patent Organization, however, took its own initiative.1 At the invitation of the French government, an intergovernmental conference of the EPC contracting states was held in Paris in June 1999.
The European Patent Court is designed to apply generally accepted maxims of procedural law, such as public proceedings, the right to be heard, the principle of party decision and the principle of free evaluation of evidence.
