Knock Out the Infringer in One Round?
General reporters: Henrik Holzapfel and Daan de Lange
The Unified Patent Court (UPC) will shake up patent litigation worldwide. Very soon an entirely new court system will be in place, covering a bigger consumer market than the US. Finally companies across the world can knock out competitors with one single blow in Europe. This new system will attract new litigants from the Americas and Asia that did not litigate in Europe before. It will therefore affect any young IP lawyer anywhere in the world who is involved in international disputes. We will have a live (and lively) mock trial to illustrate the dos and don’ts. Two international teams will share their insights on the opportunities and challenges this new court system will bring. Let the show begin!
