What does Brexit mean for patent applicants?

Question

Hello,

I would like to know what the fact that Britain is going to leave the EU means for patent applicants/holders. Business as usual? Should startups worry about their IP? And what about European patents currently in the applications process?

Thanks!

As very appropriately mentioned below by Mr Christiaën, it seems to me the key challenge for implementation of the EPUE is renegotiation to replace or eliminate the UK as an essential adopter and whether the EPUE will survive.
