OPPO, courts are asserting global influence over licensing, validity, and enforcement. This session explores how strategic forum selection and procedural divergence are reshaping litigation outcomes and global IP strategy.
• Compare how the UK, UPC, US, and German courts approach jurisdiction, declaratory relief, and parallel enforcement.
• Examine how anti-suit injunctions, interim measures, and case sequencing are used to influence settlement leverage.
