Changes in the patent law of Poland
On February 27, 2020, amendments to the Polish Industrial Law on Patents entered into force. The main purpose of legislative changes was to harmonize it with EU patent law. Major changes: 1) Now, the subject of a patent can go beyond an invention that is capable of exerting a physical effect. Potentially, this amendment could improve the situation of patenting computer programs for which it was almost impossible to obtain a patent in Poland before.
