“I’m very much looking forward to co-chairing C5’s 21st Annual Life Sciences IP Summit in Munich and hearing from our experienced panelists on current challenges faced by the Life Sciences Industry. No doubt the opening of the UPC will stimulate a number of interesting debates in which we can all participate and learn.”
“C5’s 2023 edition of the Life Sciences IP Summit in Munich will take place just a few months after the Unified Patent Court opens its doors on June 1, 2023. This conference is a perfect opportunity for both outside counsel and in-house counsel to compare notes, meet and learn from our wonderful faculty, which will include members of the UPC, and leading practitioners in the field. Attend this fall to learn first-hand what to expect from the new court!”
The Unitary Patent is Transforming the Calculus of Patenting in Europe – and the Unified Patent Court Will Commence on 1st June – Are You Prepared?
It is a new dawn for European patents. The creation of a new Unified Patent Court and a new patent with unitary effect will fundamentally change the international patent prosecution and litigation landscape for years to come. To be competitive in an already competitive market, you must be ready for these changes.
C5 invites you to Munich – home of one of the Central Division UPC Courts of First Instance – to attend our 21st annual Life Sciences IP Summit at a time when the industry is on the precipice of such significant change. Our speakers from the pharma, biotech and medical device industries will provide practical insights on procuring and maintaining patents in the Unitary Patent era, as well as provide you with offensive and defensive patent litigation strategies for the new Unified Patent Court.
Testimonials
Another great C5 conference. Good variety of attendees and topics.
Good meeting; I enjoyed it a lot, including both the talks and the social side.
Again, very good speakers from all over Europe and the US.
