As the UPC becomes more active, questions are emerging around its jurisdictional reach - particularly regarding its influence on companies and enforcement strategies in non-UPC countries like the UK and Spain. This session explores how far UPC decisions can stretch, and what it means for rights holders and litigants operating beyond its formal borders.
• Examine the potential extraterritorial effect of UPC decisions on non-participating states.
• Hear perspectives from UK, Spanish, and international counsel on the limits and risks of UPC long-arm jurisdiction.
• Explore defensive and offensive strategies for companies based in or targeting non-UPC jurisdictions.
