Episode 30 - Can a patent owner stop an alleged infringer across Europe - within days? In this episode of UPC Insights, George Walden is joined by Jasper Werhahn and Tilman Pfrang to dissect the UPC’s early case law on preliminary injunctions. They discuss what patentees and defendants need to know about urgency, proportionality, validity hurdles, and how Local Divisions are shaping the PI landscape. If you're involved in patent litigation, this episode is a must-listen.

Episode 29 - Can the Unified Patent Court (UPC) rule on European patents validated in non-EU countries? How far does its jurisdiction extend after the landmark BSH v. Electrolux decision? In this episode of UPC Insights, we delve into the CJEU ruling that could reshape patent litigation across Europe and beyond.
Join host George Walden with expert guests Mario Pozzi (SIBlex) and Tilman Pfrang (Meissner Bolte) as they unpack the ruling's implications for jurisdiction, forum shopping, and enforcement strategies. Plus, we examine recent UPC cases - Düsseldorf, Helsinki, and Mannheim - that have already tested the court’s cross-border reach.

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!
