Quoique la JUB ait \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9 par un accord international, en dehors de l&#8217;ordre juridique de l&#8217;UE, il doit appliquer pleinement et respecter le droit de l&#8217;UE aussi bien que sa primaut\u00e9 et il peut (ou, dans certains cas, doit) se r\u00e9f\u00e9rer en voie pr\u00e9judicielle \u00e0 la CJUE. En outre, les \u00c9tats membres de l\u2019UE sont responsables de l&#8217;action de la JUB au sens des articles 258-260 du TFUE aussi bien que des dommages survenus en cas de violation du droit communautaire commises par la JUB. Par cons\u00e9quent, la JUB est d&#8217;une nature tr\u00e8s particuli\u00e8re qui le rend une construction unique dans le domaine des tribunaux internationaux aussi bien que un nouvel acteur dans le syst\u00e8me juridictionnel de l&#8217;UE.\u00a0 Dans le cas o\u00f9 l\u2019accord de constitution entrera en vigueur, la JUB pourra inspirer la cr\u00e9ation d&#8217;autres juridiction commune dans d&#8217;autres domaines qui se situent \u00e0 la fronti\u00e8re entre le droit international et de l&#8217;UE. Cependant, le dialogue \u00e0 venir entre la CJUE et la JUB devra faire face \u00e0 certaines questions controvers\u00e9es qui pourraient n\u00e9cessiter des approches novatrices dans la jurisprudence de la CJUE et certains comportements prudents par la JUB. Malgr\u00e9 tous les efforts d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s pour att\u00e9nuer son origine internationale, la JUB reste fondamentalement une anomalie dans le syst\u00e8me juridictionnel de l&#8217;UE et sa cr\u00e9ation d\u00e9montre clairement que ce syst\u00e8me n\u00e9cessite maintenant une reconsid\u00e9ration profonde.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Created in 2013 after a troubled and long standing debate, the Unified Patent Court (UPC) is a \u2018Common Court\u2019 of 25 EU Member States that will adjudicate on \u2018classical\u2019 European Patents and on the new European patents with unitary effect. Albeit the UPC has been established through an international agreement outside the EU legal order, it has to fully apply and respect EU Law and its primacy and it can (or, in some cases, has to) refer preliminary ruling to the ECJ. Moreover, its Member States are responsible for UPC\u2019s action pursuant to Article 258-260 TFEU and are liable for damages occurred for infringements of EU Law made by the UPC. Therefore, the UPC has a very peculiar nature that makes it a unique construct in the field of international courts and a new actor in the EU system of judicial protection. Should its establishing Agreement enter into force, the UPC will inspire the creation of other \u2018common jurisdictions\u2019 in other fields lying on the border between international and EU Law. However, future dialogue between the ECJ and the UPC will have to deal with some controversial issues that might require some innovative approaches in ECJ jurisprudence and some caution on the part of the UPC. Despite all the efforts made to mitigate the international origin of the UPC, it remains a fundamental anomaly in the system of EU Courts, and it clearly demonstrates that the current EU system of judicial protection requires profound reconsideration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Alberti.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Geneva_JMWP_15-Alberti.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acc\u00e8s au texte &#8211; Access to full text<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","publication_tax":[47],"class_list":["post-512","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","publication_tax-working-paper"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":514,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/512\/revisions\/514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_tax?post=512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
