The European Unified Patent Court – At the Advent of a New Era of Patent Litigation

The European Unified Patent Court (UPC) is about to take off with the beginning of a sunrise period starting in March 2023, leading up to the opening of the court in June 2023. Litigation in the UPC will change patent litigation in Europe from an atomistic (country-by-country) approach to a single procedure covering most of the important European markets. The presentation will give US lawyers insight into the need-to-know about this new system, enable the audience to understand the most important differences to US litigation and provide them with the necessary background on what their clients should do now concerning their European Patents in order to prevent surprises.
