  • "Also now see the recent UPC_CFI_936/2025 about a SEPs (standard essential patents) dispute. National courts need to consider a SEP matter globally, and will take measures which essentially have global impacts. The UK Courts for example have no problems doing this. Whilst the dispute is happening a party can apply for an interim licence from a Court to protect them from being sued for patent"
