Posted: June 15th, 2022

Last Tuesday EPLAW Hosted its next webinar in its webinar series dedicated to the UPC. In this webinar, questions regarding Jurisdictional Issues were addressed. Speakers were Julia Ericsson (Sandart and Partners, SE), Pierre Véron (Pierre Véron, FR) and Myles Jelf (Bristows, UK)

Questions that were explored at the session were:

– What can the new court do? This topic explored the boundaries of the competence of the UPC (e.g. for FRAND disputes and other exotica)
– Where can it do it? Discussed was Article 33 UPCA on the competence of the UPC divisions
– What about the outside world? As a final topic, the relationship of the UPC with existing judicial systems was discussed (Brussels, Lugano and more)
