In this complimentary pre-conference webinar, two of the 2025 conference co-chairs, and a special guest, will share their insights and strategies for forum selection, drawing on their extensive experience as counsel for major biopharmaceutical companies as well as referring to case law that is developing in the national courts, patent offices, and the UPC. Topics of discussion include:

  • Deciphering the tendencies of the UPC’s Local Divisions in applying EPO and national law
  • Assessing if the UPC is a biopharma-friendly venue through an analysis of the first decisions
  • Understanding what issues should be brought to a patent office versus a national court versus the UPC
  • Appreciating parallel proceedings and stays
  • Analyzing impactful cases that are currently on appeal or awaiting decision for forum selection insights
