The Community Patent, in its early stages, was published by the European Commission as "Rule of the Council" document number 2000/0177 (CNS), COM(2000)412 FR final.

The Community Patent is part of the plan to make a unified European patent jurisdiction.

On October 30th 2009, a new proposal was published: Axel Horns' overview.

Relation to the ECJ

According to European Commissioner Charlie McCreevy, May 18th 2006, the Community patent would give the EU Court of Justice authority in interpreting the EPC:

an important feature of the proposed Community patent system is the accession of the Community to the EPC. By this, the convention becomes part of the Community acquis and subject to interpretation by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). The ECJ is not bound by the case law developed by the EPO and is free in its interpretation of the provisions of the EPC[1]
