The latest on the unitary patent – a conference in Munich
On 7 July 2016, a one-day conference is taking place at the headquarters of the European Patent Office on the current status of the European patent with unitary effect (also known as the unitary patent or UP) and the Unified Patent Court (UPC). At the conference, you can find out about the preparatory work already completed, the ongoing ratification in the member states and the implications for your IP strategy.
Tobias Bremi, ordinary judge at the Swiss Federal Patent Court will describe the experience of setting up this specialised federal court in Switzerland and talk about what the EU can learn from it.
