In episode 10 of You, me & the UPC, Charlie French and Sam Harvey look at life in the UPC following the CJEU’s decision in BSH v Electrolux (C-339/22), which marked a significant shift in the approach to jurisdiction for patent disputes in Europe.
They discuss the UPC case law since that decision was handed down in February 2025, including IMC Creations v Mul-T-Lock, Dainese v Alpinestars,Genevant and Arbutus v Moderna, Seoul Viosys v Laser Components and Hurom v NUC Electonics, and look ahead to what this might mean for patent litigation in the UPC and national courts in future.
Note: All information was correct at the time of recording.
