In this short video, Andrew Wells and Rachel Montagnon discuss how the UPC is being used by stakeholders, including the rapid increase in its popularity as a forum for the resolution of European patent disputes over its first 18 months.
Rachel and Andrew comment on the likelihood of the transitional period being extended, review some of the key areas of law and jurisdiction that have been addressed by the court and consider whether the UPC's jurisprudence is developing in a patentee-friendly way or not.
