As we approach the two-year mark of the Unified Patent Court’s (UPC) operations in June 2025, the shapes and structures of the new European patent litigation landscape become clearer. What we see is a complex of different layers of litigation that provide for multiple strategies and opportunities: national litigation, UPC litigation, hybrid strategies, different ways and forums within the UPC. The session convenes experienced litigators, in-house and law firm practitcioners who have actively participated in UPC proceedings as well as a speaker from the bench of the Court of Appeal of the UPC, providing a unique perspective on the developments and the case law related to these issues. This session is committed to aiding practitioners and stakeholders in navigating the evolving UPC landscape, ultimately enhancing their capacity to engage effectively with the court and anticipate future trends in European patent litigation.
