Recent decisions by German courts and the Unified Patent Court (UPC) are significantly expanding the reach of European patent litigation after the decision of the European Court of Justice in BSH v. Electrolux. This webinar will provide a high level, practice-oriented overview of how long-arm jurisdiction is currently being applied in Germany and at the UPC—and what this means for companies with global patent portfolios. Using landmark decisions such as Bayer/Regeneron v. Formycon, in which injunctive relief was granted for multiple EPC member states and drawing on the approach taken in Onesta v. BMW, where U.S. patents were asserted before a German court, the speakers will discuss emerging litigation strategies, enforcement opportunities, remaining open questions and risks for in house legal teams. The session will focus on practical takeaways for companies navigating cross border patent enforcement in Europe.
