4 June 2026 - E23

Signing means signing


A recent Court of Appeal order in SharkNinja v SEB dated 22 May 2026 clarifies a practical but important procedural point: if you file a document at the UPC, the document itself must be electronically signed.

 

21 May 2026 - E22

Constructive knowledge and urgency in PI proceedings


A new decision from the Düsseldorf Local Division in Ottobock v Teufel dated 7 May 2026 highlights the importance of urgency in UPC PI proceedings. The key question was: When did the patentee know — or when should it have known – enough to act?

 

30 April 2026 - E21

Amended claims and auxiliary requests in PI proceedings


In ONWARD Medical v Niche Biomedical, decided on 27 March 2026, the Court of Appeal clarified two related – but distinct – issues in PI proceedings.

 

9 April 2026 - E20

UPC long-arm jurisdiction and Art. 7(2) Brussels I Recast – no long arm if international jurisdiction is based on the place of the harmful event


In Keeex v Adobe and others, the claimant argued that the UPC should also have jurisdiction for alleged infringements in non-UPC countries such as Spain, the UK, Switzerland and Norway. The Local Division accepted this approach. But the Court of Appeal disagreed.
