Ihr Guide für das Einheitspatentgericht

Episode 37 - In this second part of our UPC Insights episode on the convergence - or divergence - between UPC and EPO case law, we take a closer look at the fundamentals of claim interpretation and procedural aspects. Host George Walden is joined once again by UPC representative and European patent attorney Tilman Pfrang, LL.M. to discuss whether the UPC is following EPO practice, and vice versa, and what practitioners need to watch when navigating both systems.

Episode 36 - Two years into the UPC’s operation, a pressing question arises: how closely does UPC case law follow the EPO’s practice regarding patent validity?
In this episode, host George Walden is joined by Tilman Pfrang, LL.M. to examine the emerging patterns across UPC decisions on inventive step, added matter, and more.
This episode offers a practitioner’s guide to navigating the strategic overlaps—and subtle divergences—between Europe’s two most important patent forums.

Episode 35 - In this episode of UPC Insights, host Tilman Pfrang, LL.M. is joined by Samuel Giles and Julian Würmser, LL.M. to examine how standard essential patent (SEP) litigation and FRAND licensing obligations are handled in the UK and at the Unified Patent Court.
From the legacy of Unwired Planet to the rise of interim license declarations, we unpack the strategic landscape shaping global FRAND litigation. What’s the impact of global licence offers? How do UPC and UK approaches differ? And what does all this mean for patentees and implementers alike?
Join us for a sharp and comparative take on two of Europe’s most active FRAND litigation venues – and how to choose between them.
