The Swedish government, during its 2009 presidency of the European Union, pushed hard to get agreement on the United Patent Litigation System.
In 2003, the Swedish government lobbied for software patents, criticising the European Parliament for amending the EU software patents directive.[1]
Legislation
There is no known case law regarding software patents in Sweden.
Courts system
Applications for patents are filed with the Swedish Patent and Registration Office (Patent- och registreringsverket, PRV).
Decisions by the PRV may be appealed against to the Patent Appeals Court (Patentbesvärsrätten, PBR).[2]
Decisions by the PBR may be appealed against to the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden (Regeringsrätten, RR).
