Because if that was not the case, this would mean that there would be a tribunal in all Member States of the European Union for administering justice on patent infringement procedures, and that could mean that a German company could find itself in a tribunal in country X, far removed from the registered office of that company, and with enlargement in the offing, that could imply far greater distances still.
For hvis det ikke er tilfældet, betyder det, at der skal være en domstol i alle EU-medlemsstater for at dømme i patentkrænkelsesprocedurer, og det medfører, at en tysk virksomhed kan befinde sig ved en domstol i medlemsstat X, langt væk fra virksomhedens hjemsted, og med udvidelsen betyder det endnu større afstande.
