Nearly a year has passed since the Administrative Committee’s Decision on June 26, 2023, amending the Unified Patent Court Agreement (UPCA) to move the London Section of the Central Division of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) of First Instance to Milan and to reallocate its competences between the Seat (Paris) and the two Sections of the Central Division (Munich and Milan), thereby aligning the UPCA with the consequences of Brexit. Since the Decision took effect 12 months after its adoption, the Milan Section opened its doors on June 27, 2024. Three high-level judges have been selected for the Milan Section: Mr. Andrea Postiglione, Ms. Anna-Lena Klein and Ms. Marije Knijff.
