German and UPC patent infringement litigation proceedings, 13.-15. Juni 2018 in München

(openPR) The German patent infringement litigation system enjoys an outstanding reputation not only within the European patent community but also worldwide. Due to this reputation, many international patent infringement cases are litigated before German Patent Courts. Therefore, it is not surprising that the creation of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) has been strongly influenced by the German patent litigation system and German experts.

This seminar will give any practitioner unfamiliar with the German patent infringement litigation system an in-depth understanding of its principles and structures. Experts from private practice and industry, as well as representatives from prestigious German patent courts will provide an insight into all aspects of patent infringement litigation from the preparation until the enforcement of the final decision. The participants will learn the principles of substantive patent infringement law. Moreover, they will gain insight into the strategic and prejudicial considerations of the parties involved in a patent infringement conflict. Our experts will grant a comprehensive and detailed presentation of the German litigation system, especially the bifurcated infringement and validity proceedings in Germany or differing regional customs before Germany's most frequented patent infringement courts.

The seminar will also present an introduction to the principles and procedures before the future Unified Patent Court (UPC) by comparing differences to the current German system in parallel, so that participants will also receive an overview how proceedings under the UPC will have to be prepared, litigated and enforced.

The participants will have the opportunity to raise questions and discuss their views with our renowned experts and with colleagues from different countries and industries worldwide.
