The main features of the agreement are these:
* English will be the only language of proceedings;This new court structure might be implemented as early mid-2015; it will thus be operational around the same time as the Unified Patent Court comes into effect.
* Stockholm will be its seat ...
* ... but cases will be heard elsewhere to the greatest extent possible.

Heard elsewhere to the greatest extent possible? Really? It would be quite something - and a really interesting opportunity - if they would consider sitting in London.
If courts are allowed to sit outside of their jurisdiction, and if clever use is made of selecting the same judge to sit in several courts, we can imagine some very helpful directions coming out for cases to be heard together.
