The Unitary Patent & Unified Patent Court
The Unified Patent Court Agreement providing a Unitary Patent (UP) and Unified Patent Court (UPC) in Europe came into force on 1 June 2023. This provides new options for European patent applications upon grant, giving potentially significant cost-savings for validation and renewals. However, it also affects European patents (EPs) granted and validated under the standard EP system, unless they have been opted-out of the UPC’s jurisdiction. Please contact us for further information or assistance.
While the UK is not part of the UP/UPC system following the UK’s departure from the EU, this does not affect our ability to continue to file and prosecute EPs and UPs, or the ability to validate a granted EP in the UK.
