Ep 1: UPC Basics - Part 1

In our first episode of You, me & the UPC, our patent litigation experts, Naomi Hazenberg and Charlie French, provide an overview of the new UPC system, which opened its doors on 1 June 2023.

They explore:

• What does the UPC bring to the European patent litigation landscape?
• Which countries will participate in the UPC, now and in the future?
• Which patents are covered by the new system (and which are not)?
• Differences between the new unitary patent and “classic” European patents.
• The transitional period: opt-out strategies and early opt-out figures.
