Ep 8: Jurisdiction – Testing the Limits

Bristows LLP Episode 8

In our 8th episode, Charlie French and Aida Tohala explore some of the recent decisions from the UPC exploring the boundaries of the court’s jurisdiction. These cases deal with questions including:

  • Does the UPC have jurisdiction over countries that have signed the UPC Agreement, but not yet ratified it?
  • How to decide whether to stay UPC proceedings when parallel litigation is ongoing at the EPO or nationally?
  • Is it only national litigation commenced during the UPC transitional period that can lead to a stay of UPC proceedings?”

Note: All information was correct at the time of recording.
