Update on the Unitary Patent (UP) and Unified Patent Court (UPC) for IPLAC
After years of uncertainty, both the Unitary Patent (UP) and the Unified Patent Court (UPC) could be live as early as 2023.
The new systems will introduce centralised patent protection and enforcement in Europe. They will impact all existing European patents and applications. Patent owners will need to make strategic decisions for their EP portfolios within the coming months.
In this virtual workshop, Appleyard Lees IP LLP partners and patent attorneys Julia Gwilt and Kate Hickinson cover the key features of the UP and UPC, to help non-European patent and IP attorneys make recommendations to their clients.
