En effet, alors que la protection des inventions par brevet coûte dix fois plus cher en Europe qu’aux États-Unis, notamment à cause des frais de traduction, 25 des 27 États membres veulent créer ensemble un brevet européen moins coûteux car unitaire.
The reason is that, while it costs 10 times as much to protect inventions with a patent in Europe as it does in the United States, in particular, because of translation costs, 25 of the 27 Member States want to create a European patent together; such a patent would cost less because it would be unitary.
