Savvy companies will probably also consider filing additional patent applications on the development work as well.

It's not a done deal yet that this is what will actually happen but, in summary, the proposal is:<br /><br />- current patent boxes closed to new entrants from June 2016<br />- existing claimants can continue to claim relief under the relevant patent box(es) until June 2021<br />- new/amended patent box regimes to replace existing, with requirement that the R&D leading to the patent be done in the jurisdiction in which the patent box relief is claimed.<br /><br />It'll be interesting to see whether the EU accepts the last restriction, given it's previously rapped France over the knuckles for a similar restriction in it's R&D relief.Anne Fairpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579190868405783459noreply@blogger.com
