AIPLA CLE Webinar: Unified Patent Court and Unitary Patents
March 2, 2023 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM
The Unitary Patent Court (UPC) will most likely enter into force in early 2023. That means that applicants and proprietors of European patent applications that have been granted European patents would need to determine their strategy for their European IP. If no action is taken, then the legal framework of the UPC will affect even the already granted EP patents. This webinar will discuss the effects of the UPC coming into force, as well as the options and decisions that the applicants and proprietors need to consider and implement.
Presented by: Dr. Malgorzata (Gosia) Kulczycka, Hickman Becker Bingham Ledesma LLP & Eric Dokter, Viering, Jentschura & Partner
