Since the introduction of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) in June 2023, a new system for central attacking the validity of and thereby to nullify a European Patent has been introduced. If a European patent of concern is an EU Unitary Patent, or if a classically validated European patent was not opted out from the competence of the UPC, a central revocation action under the UPC now exists in parallel to an opposition before the European Patent Office (EPO). Therefore, the question arises: what are the pros and cons of challenging the validity either before the EPO or before the UPC? The present report provides some guidance and discusses the main advantages and disadvantages of each system \u2013 which eventually is a matter of strategic considerations whether and which advantage may prevail \u2013 be it costs, timing, speed of proceedings, and possibly other issues.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Comment on UPC Court Decision of May 6, 2024<\/h4>\n Before the Paris Local Division, in a case where the defendant had forced an intervener into the proceedings pursuant to Rule 316A RoP (forced intervention), the intervener has obtained a period of one month for filing its Application to Intervene as well as for filing its Statement in Intervention. Contrary to Rule 316.2 RoP, which mentions a “further period” for filing the Statement in Intervention, the Court did not set any such further period.\t<\/div>\n\t \uae30\uc0ac\ub85c \uc774\ub3d9<\/a>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

If a European patent of concern is an EU Unitary Patent, or if a classically validated European patent was not opted out from the competence of the UPC, a central revocation action under the UPC now exists in parallel to an opposition before the European Patent Office (EPO). Therefore, the question arises: what are the pros and cons of challenging the validity either before the EPO or before the UPC? The present report provides some guidance and discusses the main advantages and disadvantages of each system \u2013 which eventually is a matter of strategic considerations whether and which advantage may prevail \u2013 be it costs, timing, speed of proceedings, and possibly other issues.","og_url":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/","og_site_name":"Pr\u00fcfer & Partner","article_published_time":"2024-01-30T13:44:04+00:00","article_modified_time":"2024-02-08T15:31:04+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1280,"height":720,"url":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/UPC_AO.png","type":"image\/png"}],"author":"Schantl","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"\uae00\uc4f4\uc774":"Schantl","\uc608\uc0c1 \ub418\ub294 \ud310\ub3c5 \uc2dc\uac04":"2\ubd84"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/"},"author":{"name":"Schantl","@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/#\/schema\/person\/51bff1b60ea94e55d8aed0696c87f75d"},"headline":"Comparison of opposition proceedings at the EPO and revocation actions at the UPC \u2013 advantages and disadvantages","datePublished":"2024-01-30T13:44:04+00:00","dateModified":"2024-02-08T15:31:04+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/"},"wordCount":16,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/UPC_AO.png","articleSection":["UPC-Updates"],"inLanguage":"ko-KR"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/","url":"https:\/\/pruefer.eu\/ko\/2024\/01\/30\/comparison-of-opposition-proceedings-at-the-epo-andrevocation-actions-at-the-upc-advantages-and-disadvantages\/","name":"Comparison of opposition proceedings at the EPO and revocation actions at the UPC \u2013 advantages and disadvantages -
