Dutch patent law simplified, made cheaper

Wednesday 27 June 2007

It will be easier and cheaper for Dutch and foreign firms to apply for a patent in the Netherlands under the proposed new patent law, economic affairs minister Maria van der Hoeven told MPs. Parliament is due to vote on the new law, which will also allow firms to apply for a 20-year patent in English, next week.
