Navigating the UPC

05 February 2026

We would like to share with you Navigating the UPC, a new joint insight series developed under the Altius De Clercq initiative.

The ambition behind Altius De Clercq is to combine litigation and patent expertise into contributions that are not only visible, but genuinely useful. Navigating the UPC is part of that effort: a series focused on analysing how the Unified Patent Court is shaping patent litigation in practice.
