Workshop on the subject „Strategic aspects of German patent law and practice in view of the UPC”
January 9, 2023, in Barcelona (Spain), 04:00 pm, Hotel Casa Fuster
What are the advantages of German national patent rights over a unitary patent? Are both possibilities compatible? Is it better to litigate before the UPC or before national courts? What to do in case a unitary patent is limited or revoked following an attack before the UPC? Is a German national patent a good back up?
We will be happy to address these and other questions during the event we will be hosting in Barcelona on January 9, 2023. 5 German and European patent attorneys of Boehmert & Boehmert will be there to discuss the strategic advantages German patent law offers to international clients, in particular in view of the upcoming entry into force of the UPC.
The event is aimed at patent professionals of our collaborating IP firms interested in knowing more about aspects of the German patent system that may be exploited by their clients. The talks and discussions will be held in English and Spanish. It shall be an excellent opportunity to gather, talk and share thoughts and impressions.
