Webinar: UPC Issues First Final Permanent SEP Injunction – Impact and Ramifications of Philips v. Belkin
On October 3rd, the UPC Court of Appeal handed down the court’s first final judgment on the merits in re Philips vs Belkin. This UPC decision marks UPC history and is a true milestone for many reasons. First and foremost, it is the first injunction handed down by the UPC Court of Appeals on the merits. Second, the decision clarifies important aspects of liability for patent infringement before the UPC, such as directors’ liability, claims for destruction and recall, and penalty payments for being in contempt of court. Last but not least, this ruling is of great interest due to its interplay with parallel national patent litigation.
On Friday, October 10, at 12 PM ET, we will interview the team that argued the case for Philips, including Tilman Müller, Partner at Bardehle Pagenberg, Tobias Wuttke, Partner at Bardehle Pagenberg, and Arie Tol, Principal Licensing Counsel for Philips Intellectual Property & Standards, and will pressure test their UPC opinions. You will leave the seminar with insight into how to plan, plead, and prevail in UPC litigation, how the UPC odds generally look like and what mistakes you should avoid when bringing a case before the UPC.
