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.
