For Knowledge Exchange (KE) professionals, understanding the implications of this new system is essential to navigating patent strategy, licensing, and enforcement across Europe.
In this session, Stefan Luginbuehl, Head of Department IP Lab at the European Patent Office, will provide an overview of the Unitary Patent and UPC, highlighting key benefits, challenges, and opportunities for universities and research institutions. The session will explore how the new system affects patent filing, territorial coverage, litigation and licensing structures.
Following a concise presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A, gaining insights into real-world scenarios and asking questions relevant to their institutional context. Designed for KE professionals, this session offers a timely opportunity to deepen understanding of the evolving European IP framework and its impact on technology transfer and innovation management.
