Yes. On 1 June 2023 a Unified Patent Court Agreement (UPCA) came into effect defining Unitary Patents (UP), namely single patents with effect in EU states that are party to the UPCA. The UPCA also created a Unified Patent Court (UPC), which has jurisdiction over UP and other selected European patents. For a transition period of at least 7 years, the UP will exist side-by-side with the previous national patents system.
