Substantive Decisions by the Numbers -
While many cases before the UPC have settled or were otherwise withdrawn, the Court has already made dozens of substantive decisions on the merits. To examine trends at the UPC, McDermott analyzed the Court’s published decisions and orders between May 22, 2024, and January 10, 2025. Of the hundreds of publications released during that period, 47 offered a substantive decision on either the case’s final disposition or preliminary measures.
