It’s finally happening! After years of uncertainty, the Unified Patent Court and Unitary Patent (UPC/UP) have been confirmed. The UPC is the biggest change to the European IP system in decades and there are actions that can be taken now to prepare for the system.

-

-
Should you opt-out your portfolio of national validations of granted European patents and/or SPCs from the UPC?
-
How will the existing systems be affected?
-
What actions should you be taking now to ensure you’re prepared for the changes?
