Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of a patentee's claim for remuneration regarding a rationalization project. The appellant argued that the lower court incorrectly required full implementation of the project, ignoring that only part of it was practically realized. The court ruled that partial application is valid when a new project merely improves or supplements an earlier one, thereby protecting the inventor's creative effort.
