Partner Steve Carlson will participate in several key sessions at UC Berkeley Law’s 2025 Unified Patent Court Institute Conference on Thursday, November 20. His speaking engagements cover everything from key trends in UPC usage to strategic considerations for U.S. patent litigators.
10:00 – 10:45 a.m. | Panelist | “Update and Statistics on the UPC: Who is using it and what is happening?”
Should you be paying more attention to the UPC? Is it having any meaningful impact on IP disputes? Let the data be your guide. Our global panel will guide you through the meaningful trends and decisions so that you can make your own decisions about the UPC.
11:00 – 11:45 a.m. | Moderator | “In-house Counsel’s Views on the UPC”
This session gives you a unique opportunity to hear from in-house counsel that have and are still navigating the UPC process. Learn what they think in-house counsel need to know about the UPC.
2:00 – 2:45 p.m. | Moderator | “Breakout Session and Reporting: What Does the UPC Mean for the Future of US Patents and Patent Litigation?”
Join us for an interactive discussion that pulls attendees into the discussion. Our moderators will drive small group discussions to explore what issues are troubling attorneys and how they are dealing with common problems. In the next session, summaries (anonymized) of the discussion will be shared with the entire group.
4:45 – 5:15 p.m. | Moderator | “UPC Strategies: From Venue Selection to Injunctions”
After the previous session, you are an expert (almost) on UPC and European patent litigation. Now learn about the most effective litigation strategies. Which venue should you choose? How should I pursue an injunction? What do I need to know about monetary damages? And how do I get the discovery to prove my case?
