Europe's patent landscape has shifted fast, and Chinese companies are now at the centre of it. In this episode of EIP Talks, host Xiaofan Chen, a Chinese patent attorney and head of EIP's China desk, is joined by patent litigator Sebastian Fuchs to unpack what's really happening in European patent litigation, and what it means for Chinese businesses.
They cover the rise of Chinese companies as both claimants and defendants at the Unified Patent Court (UPC); how the UPC, German national courts and the UK courts each play a different strategic role, and the practical realities businesses often miss — service of process delays, security for costs, long-arm jurisdiction, and the patent risks that come with exhibiting at European trade fairs.
