La Gro contributes to Chambers’ UPC Guide
Our firm has had the privilege of contributing to the inaugural edition of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) Guide, published by Chambers. This significant achievement underscores our ongoing commitment to excellence within the field of international patent law.
As authors and UPC Representatives, our distinguished colleagues Marleen van den Horst, Benjamin Niemeijer and Iris Arts provide their knowledge on the achievements and operations of the LD The Hague in the first two years of its existence.
The guide itself serves as a comprehensive resource, offering the most up-to-date legal insights into the functioning of the UPC. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the composition and competence of UPC judges, the various types of actions that may be pursued before the court, and the substantive legal issues that arise in this context. In addition, the guide examines landmark cases, procedural considerations, available remedies and the calculation of damages, as well as providing thoughtful commentary on the anticipated future developments of the UPC.
We are proud to have played a role in the creation of this valuable publication, which will undoubtedly serve as an essential reference for practitioners, businesses, and stakeholders navigating the evolving landscape of European patent litigation. For those interested in gaining deeper insights, we invite you to read the entire chapter, which is available here: Chambers_Unified Patent Court 2025_009_the_hague_local_division
