Czech Republic

UP 

Yes

UPC 

Yes

Status of ratification

No. The Czech IP Office commissioned a study evaluating impacts of the UPC on Czech economy and legal system. The study recommends postponing the ratification for a specified period to see how the system works in other countries. This option also seems to be preferred by the competent authorities and the Czech Republic is currently not taking any steps towards the ratification. The proposals concerning court fees and reimbursement of representation make the system far less attractive. There are also concerns over the quality of the machine translations into Czech.
