Two recent landmark decisions of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) have changed the legal landscape for cross-border enforcement and defense strategies.
In UPC_CFI_355/2023 (Fujifilm v. Kodak), the Düsseldorf Local Division of the UPC ruled in January 2025 that the UPC has jurisdiction to hear an infringement action in respect of the UK part of a European patent, if the defendant is domiciled in a UPC Member State.
In C-339/2022 (BSH v. Electrolux), the CJEU ruled in February 2025 that, under certain circumstances, a Member State Court has jurisdiction to decide on infringement in other States, including non-EU States. The same decision developed a fundamentally new concept in respect of counterclaims for invalidity.
In this webinar, Jakob Pade Frederiksen and Edward J. Farrington of Inspicos review the facts underlying the decisions and their potentially far-reaching implications.
