Course description
Whilst the UK will not be participating in the Unified Patent Court (UPC) or Unitary Patent, English Patent Litigation will inevitably have to interact with it so it is vital that practitioners working in this area understand how this will work.
Paul England presents this succinct and informative webinar which will cover the general and specific features of the English patent system that can interact with procedures of the UPC, both directly and indirectly.
With this expert insight you will be equipped with everything you would need to make the English jurisdiction a potential gateway to an overall European patenting strategy.

Training Course Content
Introduction
The Unified Patent Court (‘UPC’) opened its doors for business on 1 June 2023, a date which also marked the start of the Unitary Patent. But the UK jurisdiction is not participating in either.
Where does this leave English patent litigation, given the comparative size of the market covered by the UPC?
As the second largest economy in Europe, and one of the three most designated countries for the grant of European patents, the English jurisdiction is likely to become even more important in European patent litigation than it is now, both directly and indirectly.
This webinar will cover the general and specific features of the English system that can potentially interact with and influence the procedures of the UPC.
These hold the potential to make the English jurisdiction a gateway to an overall European strategy.
What You Will Learn
This webinar will cover the following:
- Features of English patent litigation that make it an ideal testing jurisdiction
- Features of the UPC that make English decisions potentially influential
- The indirect deployment of English decisions in UPC preliminary injunction decisions and in preventing an injunction gap
- The direct use of English procedures in cross-border declarations of non-infringement
- Are there other potential uses of English procedures to impact upon or complement the UPC?
