Objectives:
The Unified Patent Court (UPC) is a Court, comprising judges from all participating Member States of the EU. It is set up to decide in particular on the infringement and validity of both Unitary Patents and classic European Patents. The UPC is a Court common to currently eighteen EU Member States for which the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court (UPCA) has entered into force on 1 June 2023.
This special Global Digital Encounter celebrates the two years of the Court. At times marked by a revival of international tensions faced by Europe, including on the worldwide IP System, the Unified Patent Court marks a major European IP success story, widely acknowledged. The President of the Court of Appeal and chairperson of the Presidium, Klaus Grabinski, will discuss with Professor Manuel Desantes, University of Alicante and former Vice-President of the EPO, and Attorney at Law Tomasz Gawlicek, Patent and Trademark Attorney in Poland, on the growing success of the UPC and its fast achievements at age 2, not only for its Member States but also, on positive trends and opportunities for Right Holders in EU countries that can join the system in the future, and for Right Holders all over the world.
