In summaryPoland’s patent landscape is undergoing a significant shift, with the Unified Patent Court (UPC) flexing its jurisdictional muscles to cover disputes involving Poland, despite the country’s non-participation in the UPC system.
Recent UPC decisions have confirmed that, under certain conditions, patent cases involving Poland can be heard before the UPC, especially when defendants are domiciled in UPC member states.
