Considerations for European Patent Protection Post-Brexit
Webinar, Hosted By Michael Best & Friedrich LLP
Thursday, October 20, 2016 - 7:00 AM
The United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union ("Brexit") has caused significant uncertainty about the status of intellectual property rights in the UK and Europe and has delayed the implementation of the European Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court systems. In this webinar, attorneys Richard L. Kaiser and Brian J. N. Marstall will discuss Brexit’s impact on patent protection in the UK and Europe, for both existing patents and new application filings, and what applicants can expect if the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court systems eventually go into effect.
