The twelve days of UPC - one week down, five days to go!

We are one week into our twelve days of UPC video series, where we are releasing daily bite-sized videos that explore key aspects of UPC decisions and their implications, while unpacking complex legal developments in a way that’s accessible and informative. The series concludes with the launch of our UPC Review of the Year publication, now in its second year.

If you have missed any of the action, don't worry! You can find links to all the videos we have released so far below:

Day 1: To get the series underway, Brian Cordery and Naomi Hazenberg delivered their very own 2025 UPC carol. 

Day 2: Patrick Newlands dived into one of this year’s hottest UPC talking points – the court’s growing “long-arm jurisdiction” following the landmark CJEU decision in BSH v Electrolux.

Day 3: Charlie French shone a spotlight on one of this year’s most action-packed UPC topics: preliminary injunctions (PIs).

Day 4: James Boon took a tour through some of the UPC’s decisions on remedies – from proportionality to enforcement penalties.

Day 5: With several key orders this year, the UPC is scrutinising financial health, enforcement risks for non-EU parties, and setting security amounts from €56K to €600K. The Court of Appeal has clarified who can request security and timing matters. Lucy Sewter explained more in this episode.

Day 6: Infringement by equivalents has been a hot topic this year at the UPC, and courts are circling around one key question: does the substitute means perform the same technical function to achieve the same effect? Eden Winlow provided an overview in this one.

Day 7:  James Boon dived into one of the UPC’s trickiest (and most hotly debated) areas: Standard Essential Patents and FRAND.
