Lexology masterclass: the UPC one year on - where are we now?
The Unified Patent Court opened its doors on 01 June 2023, amidst a palpable buzz of excitement and uncertainty. Some thirty-plus years in the making, the new court undoubtedly represents a modern landmark for stakeholders and users of the European patent system. But, one year on, has the UPC delivered on its stated aim to provide a “uniform, specialised, and efficient framework for patent litigation at a European level”?
Join us for an informal virtual “guided tour” of the UPC to commemorate its first anniversary. Webinar participants can expect an insightful and thought-provoking mix of court statistics, case commentary and practical considerations from some of the key decisions of the first twelve months since the court’s inception. We will also consider anticipated developments in the next twelve months and the ongoing impact of the UPC on patent enforcement strategies in Europe.
