What will happen if you don't meet the eligibility criteria?

From 1 January 2021, any UK registrant who cannot meet the eligibility criteria set out by the EU will have his .eu domain names suspended. A suspended domain name can no longer support any active services (such as websites or email). However, the domain name can be reinstated if registration data is updated to meet the so-called eligibility criteria.

Domain names that are not reinstated will remain suspended until 30 June 2021. They will then be withdrawn as from 1 July 2021. On 1 January 2022, all the withdrawn domain names will be revoked. They will then start to be made available for registration by other entities.

EPO Enlarged Board Clarifies: Publicly Available Products Are Prior Art, Even If Irreproducible

The European Patent Office's Enlarged Board has fundamentally altered the landscape of prior art assessment, establishing that products made publicly available before a patent filing date constitute prior art regardless of whether they can be analyzed or reproduced. This landmark decision removes the long-standing reproducibility requirement, making market availability alone sufficient to destroy novelty and significantly raising the stakes for timely patent filings.

AI Training Meets Copyright Law: Munich Court Sides With GEMA Against OpenAI

On 11 November 2025, the Regional Court of Munich I ruled that OpenAI’s language models unlawfully used song lyrics by nine German authors. GEMA, acting as the collecting society, claimed that OpenAI’s models had memorised and reproduced copyrighted lyrics without permission. Comparable collecting societies across Scandinavia – such as KODA (Denmark) play similar roles in protecting authors’ rights and are closely watching this development.
