What is the EPLN?

A NEW APPROACH TO PATENT LITIGATION FOR THE UPC

Patent litigation in Europe has undergone a lot of changes, and is set for a further major shift in the near future with the introduction of the UPC. This presents a new set of challenges to organisations facing intellectual property disputes in Europe.

We have come together to form a network of leading intellectual property law firms. By sharing our knowledge, expertise and resources we are able to provide an effective solution to representing clients before the UPC. We provide a tailor-made solution that is able to adapt to whatever arises.
