Episode 28 - Can a general injunction be granted if only one specific act of infringement is proven? The UPC Court of Appeal says yes - a specific infringement act (e.g. offering) can justify a broad preliminary injunction covering all possible infringing acts (e.g. also manufacturing). But is this a fair balance, or does it risk overreach? Join us as we break down this key decision and its implications for patent enforcement!
Episode 27 - How far can patent protection extend beyond literal claim language? And how do past statements in prosecution shape infringement disputes? In this episode of UPC Insights, we explore the key doctrines of equivalent patent infringement and file wrapper estoppel, comparing approaches under U.S. law and the Unified Patent Court (UPC).
Host George Walden is joined by Patrick Muffo, a U.S. patent lawyer, and Tilman Pfrang, a UPC representative, to discuss how these doctrines influence prosecution and litigation strategies, claim interpretation, and enforcement. What should patent holders know when navigating global disputes?
