The Unitary Patent (UP) and Unified Patent Court (UPC) will become a reality in April 2023. It will have a profound and lasting impact on the European patent landscape.

A hybrid half-day event on 17 November 2022 from 1.45 pm – 7.00 pm (London time), organized by UCL Laws and hosted by the law firm Taylor Wessing, will see leading practitioners identify and discuss the key practical and strategic issues concerning the UPC.
