Schlich held a Coronation party on Friday. Dressed in red, white and blue, we snacked on some treats and looked forward to a (hopefully) sunny long weekend to celebrate the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III.

After many months of doubts and pushbacks, 1 June draws near and with it, dawns the start of the UPC.

Notwithstanding Brexit and the UK’s withdrawal from the UPC, UK-based European patent attorneys, such as those at Schlich, will have the right to represent clients before the UPC. Therefore, it remains possible for clients to use a UK-based legal team for UPC infringement and revocation actions. Schlich and PDT have joined forces to provide clients with a strong choice of representation before the UPC, drawing on Schlich’s impressive expertise in substantive patent law and extensive experience handling contentious matters before the European Patent Office, and PDT’s wealth of experience handling litigation in the UK and a growing number of European jurisdictions.
