When the UPC opened its doors for business in June 2023, no one could really predict what this would mean for patent rights holders or the lawyers representing them. Bird & Bird’s global patent team has been actively engaged in court proceedings since the first week and has been compiling its learnings from day one. To mark the One Year Anniversary of the UPC opening, we invite you to join our team of international patent experts for the fourth instalment of our regular UPC update webinars. During this session, we reflect on the past 12 months of UPC operations, delve into the significant developments of the last three months, and offer valuable insights into what we can expect to see in the near future.
