The UPC Clarifies The Threshold For “imminent Infringement”

The European Patent Office's Enlarged Board has fundamentally altered the landscape of prior art assessment, establishing that products made publicly available before a patent filing date constitute prior art regardless of whether they can be analyzed or reproduced. This landmark decision removes the long-standing reproducibility requirement, making market availability alone sufficient to destroy novelty and significantly raising the stakes for timely patent filings.

On 11 November 2025, the Regional Court of Munich I ruled that OpenAI’s language models unlawfully used song lyrics by nine German authors. GEMA, acting as the collecting society, claimed that OpenAI’s models had memorised and reproduced copyrighted lyrics without permission.

From today, 1 December, Chinese applicants who designate the European Patent Office (EPO) as their International Search Authority (ISA) are able to pay their search fees through the CNIPA in Renminbi (Chinese Yuan).

Two recent European court cases—Getty Images vs Stability AI and Gema vs OpenAI—have delivered contrasting rulings on generative AI and copyright infringement, with significant implications for how businesses assess legal risks when using AI models. While one court found no infringement in AI training processes, the other ruled that memorized copyrighted content in model outputs constitutes unlawful reproduction, highlighting the urgent need for Danish companies to clarify their AI roles and imp

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) will, for the first time, assess how EU copyright law applies to large language models.

To nye europæiske domme om generativ AI og ophavsret viser, at både træningsdata og AI-genereret output kan få afgørende betydning i kommende sager. Getty Images mod Stability AI og Gema mod OpenAI illustrerer, hvordan retsstillingen fortsat er uafklaret på tværs af jurisdiktioner. Hvad betyder disse afgørelser for danske virksomheder, der anvender eller udvikler AI-løsninger?

Intellectual property rights are intellectual property rights and include patent rights, utility models, copyrights, trademark rights and design rights, among others.

In this episode, we are joined by Ludvig Larsen, entrepreneur, author, and the man behind one of Denmark’s leading podcasts, “Ludvigs Podcast”. Ludvig opens up about his journey from owning a stressful marketing agency to finding work-life joy as a solopreneur. We dive into his new book, “Ludvigs Lektioner” (Ludvig’s Lessons), and get unique insight into how he used Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a sparring partner to structure and organise the book.

Since generative AI entered the mainstream nearly 2 years ago with the debut of ChatGPT, it has quickly been integrated into many of our daily interactions.

Generative AI is transforming antibody patent prosecution at the European Patent Office, where a single word—'routine'—now determines both enablement and obviousness.
