How our team supports clients at the Court.
Our litigators and patent attorneys work as one team across UPC, UK and German proceedings. Our UPC team was ready from day one, when the Court opened in June 2023, and it has specialists based in Germany, Sweden and the UK.
Our UPC team includes partners who are qualified UPC representatives, among them UK and European patent attorneys, solicitors and German Rechtsanwälte. You can meet the team on the UPC Hub page.
A UPC action needs deep technical analysis upfront. Our patent attorneys build portfolios with claims that are ready for assertion and robust to challenge at the UPC, and the attorney who drafted and prosecuted a patent can often run any parallel EPO opposition. We also advise on using the UK courts and the UPC's long arm jurisdiction together, because the UK can be decisive in a multi-country strategy.
Our UPC case reports explain the decisions that matter, and The UPC Review brings the Court's most important decisions of its second full year together in one place.
