Are you formulating an international patent strategy that involves the European market? The European Unified Patent will finally be launched on June 1, 2023!

After many years of efforts, a project for a single patent with unitary effect across the entire European Union (EU) has become a reality, and all participating countries will fall under the jurisdiction of a single international court known as the Unified Patent Court (UPC). From the day the UPC begins operations, European patent holders will be able to apply for unitary effect, allowing them to receive protection for their intellectual property rights in all participating countries. Conversely, a significant drawback is that limitations, transfers, cancellations, and waivers of rights will apply to all UPC member countries. However, European patent owners and applicants are allowed to opt out of the UPC's exclusive jurisdiction during a transitional period (initially 7 years, extendable up to 14 years). This option to opt out of UPC jurisdiction is known as "opt-out" and remains valid throughout the duration of the European patent. If one does not opt out, there is a risk that a single lawsuit in the UPC could lead to the cancellation of the European patent, making the opt-out application a defensive strategy in that regard. *For more details, please download the PDF or refer to the related links.*

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

PERI products are used at construction sites around the world. This time, we would like to introduce the construction work of the "Dunajec Road Bridge" spanning the Dunajec River in the town of Nowy Targ in southern Poland. The road bridge was planned to be constructed using a balanced cantilever method, dividing the cantilever beams starting from each pier into 10 segments. A particular concern was to strictly adhere to the concrete pouring cycle for each segment. To achieve this, a balanced cantilever carriage (VBC) equipped with a hydraulic advance system and an automatic formwork stripping function was adopted. By utilizing the VBC, it became possible to pour concrete for segments up to a maximum length of 5 meters in a single cycle, allowing for efficient and timely construction. PERI products: 1. TRIO Panel Formwork 2. VARIO GT24 Wall Formwork 3. PERI UP Flex Modular Scaffold 4. VST Heavy-Duty Shoring Tower PERI Japan Co., Ltd.
