The Unified Patent Court – a one-stop-shop for European patent litigation – is now two years old. As it enters its third year of operation, we look at the approach that is becoming established in the new system, drawing out key themes including the increasing jurisdictional reach of the UPC and the developing potential of the new system to enable settlement of disputes.
The decision of the Mannheim local division court of 18 July 2025 to grant an injunction in relation to infringement of the UK part of an EP bundle is the most recent example of a trend that has been evident for some time, that the UPC will take jurisdiction wherever possible.
We discuss this decision and also review other specific developments in the 6 months since our last UPC briefing.
