The expected 2017 implementation of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and Unitary Patent System in Europe will significantly change the way innovation is protected in Europe - and the UPC will apply retroactively to European patents you have now.
Topics to be covered include:
- Planning cost-effective patent applications optimized for both the United State (U.S.) and Europe
- Opportunities based on differences in U.S. versus European patent protection
- Strategic considerations in view of the UPC and Unitary Patent
- Ownership, licensing, and transactions with the new European regime in mind.
