Unified Patent Court
The introduction of the Unitary Patent (UP) and Unified Patent Court (UPC) is one of the most significant IP developments in Europe for decades. These two new pillars of patent law and practice came into effect on 1 June 2023, following the conclusion of the 3‑month sunrise period.
CMS has followed the development closely. Find our insights on the UPC and the Unitary Patent System on the pages below. For more detailed information on the impact on your business now the Unified Patent Court has launched contact your local CMS office.
