The Unified Patent Court (UPC) is an international court set up by EU Member States to deal with the infringement and validity of both Unitary Patents and European patents.
Currently 17 States have ratified the UPC Agreement. This new system will avoid costly parallel litigations and enhances legal certainty.
The Unified Patent Court has shared the list of Judges who will take up their duties as of the entry into force of the UPC Agreement, expected on June 1, 2023.
85 Judges have been appointed :34 legally qualified judges and 51 part-time technically qualified judges. The presidium has also been elected.
Marie-Paule Vandeberg is proud to inform you that she has been nominated as technically qualified judge for Mechanical Engineering cases.
