Help Ensure CII Patentability

On 6 July, the European Parliament (EP) formally rejected the Council's Common Position on the CII directive, rather than continue discussions regarding possible amendments. The vote - 648 to 14, with 18 abstentions - reflects the decision by all political groups to reject the text rather than risk a result none could accept. Rejection of the Council Common Position - a first in EU legislative history - means the official end of the legislative procedure for the Common Position.
