The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Unified Patent Court (UPC): A New Forum for Patent Litigation in Europe" on February 8, 2023 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm (ET). Antje Brambrink of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP; Jakob Kellenberger of Procter & Gamble; and Leo Steenbeek Koninklijke Philips N.V. will provide a high-level overview of the UPC system and shed some more light on the threats and opportunities of this new venue both from the perspective of industry and litigators. The panel will discuss the following:
• Structure of the Court and the proceedings
• Litigation timelines
• Strategic considerations on opting out European patents from the jurisdiction of the court also with a view on forum shopping and the UPC's long-arm jurisdiction.
The registration fee for the webinar is $150 for non-members or free for IPO members (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in attending the webinar should register here.
