Agenda Day 2

10:05 AM THINK TANK: FROM FILING TO ENFORCEMENT - OPTIMISING PATENT STRATEGY IN THE UPC ERA

Three years after its launch, the UPC is no longer just a new litigation forum. It is increasingly shaping decisions made at the filing, prosecution and portfolio-management stages. As patentees seek to maximise flexibility and minimise litigation risk, strategic considerations such as national fallback filings, prosecution choices, opt-outs, injunction leverage and cross-border enforcement are becoming more interconnected than ever before. The question is: has the UPC merely altered where disputes are fought, or is it fundamentally changing how patents are obtained and managed throughout Europe?

• Explore how the UPC has influenced filing strategies, and whether prosecution practices need to evolve in light of increasing scrutiny of prosecution history

• Analyse how the UPC's approach to jurisdiction, long-arm reach, infringement actions and injunctions is changing litigation and enforcement strategies across Europe

• Evaluate how patent portfolio management can be aligned with UPC litigation risks and opportunities, including validity challenges, forum selection and cross-border enforcement considerations
