The European Unitary Patent and the Unified Patent Court (UPC) are coming soon. Applicants for patents in Europe will have more choices than ever, as do owners of existing patents.

This webinar will discuss the merits of the Unitary Patent, its value for money and risks. Hand in hand with this will be a new court offering fresh opportunities for patent enforcement; although some patent owners might decide to opt out given that it is untested and the stakes are high.

Join Maucher Jenkins partners, Hugh Dunlop and Gerrit Schultz, for an expert review of the Unitary Patent, the UPC and their implications for patent owners.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

A FRANDly Forum? The Growing Role Of Arbitration In SEP Disputes

English Court Of Appeal Approves Choice Of Arbitration As Global (F)RAND Venue For SEP Licensing Disputes When Made By SEP Owners

The English Court of Appeal has endorsed arbitration as an acceptable means of dispute resolution for resolving global (F)RAND disputes when proposed by standard-essential patent owners.
