Dr. Niccolò Galli proposes four specific amendments to the European Innovation Act to better address the unique valuation and licensing requirements of patent assets. The proposal argues that the current horizontal framework risks misapplying general valuation standards to complex patents, potentially complicating future FRAND disputes and licensing activities.
The immediate implication is a shift toward standardized IP-backed finance, which could unlock up to EUR 10.2 billion in annual innovation funding. For the streaming ecosystem, this framework dictates how video compression and transmission patents are valued during collateralization versus licensing negotiations. If the European Innovation Act fails to differentiate between general brands and technical patents, it risks creating artificial benchmarks for FRAND royalties that could destabilize existing patent pools. Watch for the European Parliament's response to Case C-727/25, which will signal the EUIPO's future authority over standard-essential patent governance.
Broader European patent enforcement trends are currently being shaped by new jurisdictional rulings that impact how tech firms manage their intellectual property portfolios across the continent. The UPC sets strict confidentiality standards for ongoing litigation, which may further influence how these valuation amendments are implemented in practice. For those navigating these changes, the UPC Patent Mediation and Arbitration Centre now offers additional pathways for resolving complex licensing disagreements.
Dr. Niccolò Galli has proposed four amendments to the European Innovation Act to prevent the misapplication of general valuation standards to complex patents. These changes aim to protect IP-intensive firms, potentially unlocking EUR 10.2 billion in annual innovation funding while ensuring accurate patent valuation during licensing and collateralization negotiations.
The amendments aim to address risks where general valuation standards are applied to complex patents, which could complicate FRAND disputes and licensing activities for IP-intensive companies.
Standardizing IP-backed finance through these amendments could potentially unlock up to EUR 10.2 billion in annual innovation funding.
The EUIPO would be granted a four-year window to establish a Union-wide digital platform dedicated to IP licensing and transfers.
