Meeting in Brussels in December the heads of government of the European Union have asked the EU Commission (basically the EU's civil service) to present a report on IP matters governing, in particular, the quality of the IP system and patents. Hopefully the report will also address such matters as the speed of grant - currently taking between five and six years in some cases. This fits in well with the German government's attempts to accelerate discussions on the European Patent Litigation Agreement.
