Did 1 June 2023 change the patent world? – Recent developments on jurisdictional reach and applicable law at the UPC

Join us for an in-depth webinar where we will discuss how the UPC is dealing with complex pre-UPC scenarios.

The UPC is continuing to shape its role in European patent litigation — and one of the most debated issues is how it approaches acts of infringement that occurred before its official start on 1 June 2023. On the occasion of the UPC’s second anniversary, we take a moment to look back at how the Court has approached this question so far.

Join us for an in-depth webinar where we will discuss how the UPC is dealing with complex pre-UPC scenarios, including:

  • Jurisdiction over infringing acts where an opt-out is withdrawn but parallel national litigation existed before 1 June 2023
  • Jurisdiction over damage determination in case of a national decision on the merits
  • Jurisdiction over infringing acts occurred before 1 June 2023 and while the EP was opted out
  • The applicable law in UPC cases involving acts of infringement both before and after 1 June 2023

We will explore the evolving case law of the UPC — and its willingness to assert jurisdiction wherever possible sometimes arguably in spite of the strict wording of the UPCA.

Join us for a discussion on the shifting boundaries of UPC jurisdiction and its potential implications for ongoing and future patent litigation in Europe.

Participation in our webinars is free of charge. Please note that we will be using Zoom for our webinar.

We look forward to your registration!
