swissuniversities welcomes the proposed revision of the Patent Ordinance (PO), which will strengthen legal certainty, transparency, and the simplicity of procedures. It highlights two main advances: greater international harmonization, with the acceptance of documents in English and a reduction of administrative burdens, as well as enhanced digitalization of the procedures, enabling faster processing, easier electronic exchanges, and modern data management. However, further improvements are still required in certain aspects of this revision.
