Litigating in the Unified Patent Court: Strategies for Success

Nearly two years in, the Unified Patent Court (UPC) continues to reshape the patent litigation landscape in Europe by providing swift, cross-border resolutions and an innovative approach to patent enforcement and revocation. But these benefits also come with challenges, and organizations and their counsel must learn how to effectively navigate disputes in the new court.

Hear first-hand accounts of handling matters in the UPC during this engaging, conversation-style webinar that will dive into the intricacies of UPC litigation and help develop your strategy. After introducing the new court and its impact, two experienced patent lawyers from our cross-border UPC team will share their insights via a moderated Q&A.

Don’t miss their answers to the critical questions that local and US counsel need to know to succeed in the UPC.

Discussion questions will include:

• How patentee-friendly is the UPC, statistically and in handling cases?
• How strong is the injunction threat in the UPC, compared to US litigation?
• How should you prepare for and leverage the front-loaded character of UPC proceedings?
• Which types of arguments resonate with UPC judges?
