The introduction of UPs and the new UPC system represents the single biggest change to the patent protection and patent enforcement landscape in Europe over the last four decades.

The new UPC regime complements our fully integrated European IP practice. We are already working with stakeholders and potential users of the system in advance of the arrival of the new UPC system.
We would be delighted to assist you on any queries you may have on the new regime, as well as help assist your business in preparing for these changes. Please do get in touch with us.
