A Strategic Deep Dive into the UPC and Its Global Impact
As Europe’s Unified Patent Court (UPC) gains more interest and cases, US corporations, innovators and their counsel face urgent questions: What does this seismic shift in patent enforcement mean for global IP strategy? And how should US companies engage, compete, and strategize given this new landscape?
This daylong, high-impact institute offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from UPC judges, former USPTO and Federal Circuit leadership, seasoned litigators, global in-house counsel, and UPC experts.
