UPC Video Bites

Your Weekly 2-Minute Patent Law Update

E2 - Indirect patent infringement at the UPC

In this two-minute bite, we look at the Munich Local Division’s decision in BRITA SE v. Aquashield (UPC_CFI_248/2024) – a case that shows how far indirect infringement can reach under the UPC.

Watch the video to see how the Court’s reasoning plays out — in just two minutes.
