Global bite size webinar series: What actions do patent holders need to take now?
The Unified Patent Court (UPC) is scheduled to open its doors in just over four months - but what actions do patent holders need to take now?
Ever since the proposed UPC start date of 1st April 2023 was announced, there has been a flurry of activity around the long awaited court and Unitary Patent. Our dedicated UPC team understands how busy business leaders and patent owners are - so with this in mind, we have devised a bite size webinar distilling the most important information you need to know into just 30 minutes. We will particularly focus on:
- A brief introduction to changes in jurisdiction including "why does opt-out matter?"
- The pros and cons of opting out
- Timing and process for opting out
- Contractual considerations
We will run this webinar 3 times over 24 hours to give everyone a chance to join from APAC and Greater China to the Americas via the UK and Europe:
23rd November, 12:00 GMT
23rd November, 12:00 ET
24th November, 17:00 JST/16:00 HKT
As ever, we welcome enquiries about the UPC and UP at upc@marks-clerk.com.
