UPC.Insights is the podcast from Meissner Bolte. Every other Thursday, we bring you exciting episodes where we explore the world of patent law. Our experts and guest speakers provide you with the latest information, background knowledge, and engaging discussions about the Unified Patent Court. Now available in English!
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!
