The Unified Patent Court
Information & guidance
The Unified Patent Court – what’s it all about?
The Unified Patent Court (UPC) established by the EU member states will henceforth be responsible for questions of legal validity and in the event of infringement of European patents, including unitary patents. The aim of the new unitary patent system is to increase legal certainty in the European area and to avoid time-consuming and costly proceedings.
But what is the structure and functioning of this new court? When does it have jurisdiction and when does it not? What are the enforcement options for rights holders or defense options for defendants?
