Brexit has no effect on the usual system for European Patents
The European Patent Office (EPO) is not an EU institution, so the current patent system is not impacted by the UK’s departure from the EU. Patent applications filed by Carpmaels & Ransford at the EPO will still cover the UK (via conventional national validation), and they will be litigated in the UK national courts as usual. The European Patent Convention will continue to be part of UK law, and our European patent attorneys will continue to act in the usual way in all matters before the EPO.
