International Patent Law for In-House Counsel: How In-House Counsel Need to Navigate the New Unitary Patent & Unified Patent Court

On June 1, 2023 after decades of planning and many false starts, the Unified Patents Court (UPC) and Unitary Patent (UP) finally came into force. This has been the biggest change to patent practice and litigation in Europe in a generation. However what began as a project to simplify and streamline European patents has added a layer of complexity on to the existing system.

Join us at 12pm ET / 9am PT on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 for the next edition of our IHC Deep Dives Series, as Jonathan Cheng, Tim Harris, and Dr. Johannes Graf Ballestrem of Osborne Clarke will provide an overview of the UPC and UP and discuss the first 4 months of the UPC and what it means for your organization.

Discussion topics include:

• An overview/ reminder of the UPC and UP system
• How to take advantage of the UPC
• What steps you need to take to minimize the risks of the UPC to your business
• 4 months in: what have we learned so far?
