Guide to the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court

2022

The European Patent with Unitary Effect (or Unitary Patent (UP) for short) and the Unified Patent Court (UPC) provide a new system for (a) securing pan-EU1 patent rights and (b) litigating patents in a single pan-EU jurisdiction.

As the UP/UPC system becomes available, Mewburn Ellis will be able to obtain UPs for our clients and manage the process of opting out their conventional EPs from the jurisdiction of the UPC, if this is desired.
