A Strategic Deep Dive into the UPC and Its Global Impact

As Europe’s Unified Patent Court (UPC) gains more interest and cases, US corporations, innovators and their counsel face urgent questions: What does this seismic shift in patent enforcement mean for global IP strategy? And how should US companies engage, compete, and strategize given this new landscape?

This daylong, high-impact institute offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from UPC judges, former USPTO and Federal Circuit leadership, seasoned litigators, global in-house counsel, and UPC experts. Through engaging panels, breakouts and interactive discussions, attendees will gain critical insights into:

• The Future of Enforcement: Former Chief Judge Randall Rader and former USPTO Director Andrei Iancu debate the implications of the UPC for U.S. innovation and global patent strategy.
• Real-World Insights: Corporate counsel from leading tech and biotech companies share firsthand perspectives on navigating the UPC.
• Data-Driven Trends: Who’s filing where, and what’s winning? Our global experts illustrate and discuss early UPC stats and outcomes.
• Direct from the Source: Sitting UPC judges provide key takeaways U.S. stakeholders need to know.
• Interactive Strategy Sessions: Join small-group breakout discussions on the UPC’s impact on U.S. litigation, and hear real-time feedback and shared insights from your peers.
• Procedural Comparisons: Understand how invalidity challenges play out across the EPO, UPC, and PTAB—and what to watch in parallel proceedings.
• Winning Litigation Tactics: Learn strategic approaches to venue selection, injunctions, damages, and discovery in the UPC framework.

With unmatched access to thought leaders and practical guidance tailored to U.S. stakeholders, this event is your essential guide to the fast-evolving world of the Unified Patent Court.
