Cross-Border Patent Litigation for the Tech & Innovation Sectors: Forum Selection and Jurisdictional Frictions
Amid accelerating cross-border patent litigation activity, jurisdictional friction is becoming a vital consideration as parties weigh the relative advantages of different forums against factors such as cost and litigation duration. Bringing together perspectives from Europe, the UK, North America, China and Brazil, this panel examines the opportunities and challenges presented by different litigation venues.
- Explore the key considerations influencing global forum selection for technology patent disputes, including the cost associated with litigating in different venues and the time to resolution.
- Assess the interplay between licensing negotiations and patent litigation, including the enforcement risks and strategic considerations arising from failed negotiations.
- Discuss the growing popularity of the UPC among patent holders, and how the court is being utilised as a strategic forum for securing injunctive relief and influencing global settlement strategies.
- Review the comparative advantages and challenges of litigating in major patent jurisdictions, including North America, China, Brazil, the UK, and Europe.
- Understand the costs and timescales associated with the UK route for obtaining interim licences, and assess the role of the UK within wider cross-border licensing and litigation campaigns.
