Reddie & Grose is pleased to invite you to an online seminar which will guide you through the European Unitary Patent & Unified Patent Court (UPC).
We will provide a detailed overview of the Unitary Patent system, including the UPC, and how the new system may affect your validation and litigation strategies. The Unitary Patent and the UPC offer advantages, but also introduce new potential risks that need to be considered. We will discuss the pros and cons of the Unitary Patent and the UPC, and factors to consider when deciding whether or not to make use of this new system.
