Cross-border Patent Litigation Update November 2023

After many years in the making, the Unified Patent Court (UPC) finally started its operations on 1 June. It has accumulated a fair number of cases by now and even issued its first decisions in the first month, with additional decisions coming out regularly now.

We have therefore included a dedicated section on the UPC in this latest edition of our update, which also comprises summaries of the most relevant decisions from the United Kingdom, Germany, France and Belgium.
