Paragraph 5
5. Is of the opinion that a Unified Patent Court can be created by means of an international agreement; stresses, however, that the Unified Patent Court must respect Union law; believes that this respect for the primacy and proper application of Union law should be ensured inter alia by providing for the possibility of requesting preliminary rulings from the Court of Justice of the European Union in accordance with Article 267 of the TFEU; furthermore it is necessary to ensure that any decision of the Unified Patent Court which infringes European Union law may give rise to some form of financial liability on the part of one or more Member States;
