The Unified Patent Court provides a new venue for patent litigation in Europe. The opening of the UPC in June 2023 marked the realisation of an ambition to unify European patent enforcement that dated back almost 50 years. It deals with disputes related to both unitary patents and conventional European patents (unless they have been opted out).
At Mewburn Ellis our attorneys and litigators are perfectly positioned to handle UPC matters within the wider context of your European IP strategy. Our world class team of German and UK practitioners understands the historic diversity of the European litigation landscape and can adopt a variety of approaches when running a case before the UPC.
With our experience of IP litigation at the national courts alongside our formidable record in EPO opposition proceedings we efficiently manage coordinated and cohesive parallel multi-jurisdictional actions throughout Europe. We combine deep technical knowledge with a sharp focus on commercial outcomes, offering a fresh perspective that challenges the status quo.
