Oppositions & Challenges Experience

The Unified Patent Court (UPC) is also now gaining traction in Europe and increasingly interacting with EPO opposition practice. Whether defending a granted patent or challenging one, success depends on experience, precision and a deep understanding of the process.

EIP's mixed practice and depths of experience in EPO oppositions, as well as UPC and national litigation make us the firm of choice for clients seeking representation in these proceedings across all technical areas.

This includes:

Mock hearings can range from internal simulations to full-scale exercises involving independent consultants acting as the Opposition Division or Board of Appeal, with attorneys, experts and clients participating.
