2:40 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: A LOOK INTO THE UPC THREE YEARS ON – ASSESSING THE TRENDS, FAILURES AND SUCCESSES OF THE NEW AGE OF PATENT FILING

Three years into the life of the Unified Patent Court (UPC), the dust has begun to settle on one of the most significant changes to Europe’s intellectual property landscape in decades. This session will take stock of the UPC’s impact, exploring how businesses, law firms, and innovators have adapted to the system, where it has delivered on its promises, and where challenges remain. Through a balanced assessment of trends, successes, and failures, attendees will gain insight into how the UPC is reshaping patent litigation and filing strategies across Europe – and what the future might hold for this new era of patent enforcement.
