Interim and Final Remedies in European Patent Law

Patent law is intended to create incentives for innovation. Whether it serves that purpose depends not only on how patent rights are granted, but also on how and to what extent these rights are protected. A consistent patent policy depends not only on how patent rights are shaped, but also on the remedies provided by the legal order when these rights are infringed. Remedies can be deemed inadequate if they do not prevent infringement when it is socially undesirable or do not provide adequate relief for patent holders when infringement occur. Unlike as in the case of the United States, European legal scholarship has drawn relatively little attention to this issue. In order to provide some elements for that analysis, this contribution is purported to sketch a general overview on patent remedies available in Europe.
