Overview
Partners Henrik Holzapfel and Chuck Larsen will speak on the panel “Facilitating access to the UPC; Economics and navigating the UPC – US Patent Nexus,” at the Life Sciences Patent Network (LSPN) North America Spring 2026 conference. Their discussion will focus on practical and strategic issues arising from the Unified Patent Court (UPC), including new approaches to cost security ordered against claimants, the gathering and production of evidence, and the interplay between UPC proceedings and US litigation and discovery. The panel will also examine how UPC actions intersect with US patent prosecution and what these developments mean for companies managing global life sciences patent portfolios.
