The CJEU changes the game of cross-border patent litigation: with the CJEU’s ruling of February 25, 2025 – C-339/22 (BSH./.Electrolux) – the known territorial boundaries of European patent litigation are virtually crushed.
It is safe to assume that EU national courts as well as the UPC can from now on issue injunctions for EU States and non-EU states alike, provided that the defendant is sued at its domicile and that said domicile is in an EU / UPC Member State. An invalidity defense by the defendant does not change that. With this ultra-long-arm jurisdiction, even patents registered in non-EU states can be litigated in Europe, and injunctions can be granted based on e.g. US patents. An expert panel will discuss the strategic implications of the CJEU’s ruling for global patent litigation and licensing and will address important questions that are still open.
Gabriele Mohsler (Ericsson), Alexander Haertel (Deutsche Telekom), Tilman Müller-Stoy and Tobias Wuttke will discuss these ground-breaking developments and shed light on:
- opportunities and risks when embarking on such ultra-long-arm-journey from a right holder’s perspective,
- counter-measures and defense strategies from a defendant’s perspective,
- legal limits and open questions,
- an outlook into changing global patent litigation dynamics
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the wider ramifications of these new and game-changing developments.
