Language of the proceedings
If the language of the proceedings is not the language in which the patent was granted, Art. 49(5) UPCA allows to change the language of the proceedings. A change, however, requires that the President of the Court of First Instance consults all parties potentially affected thereby and the panel of the pision. The change of the language of proceedings may be conditional on specific translation or interpretation arrangements.
