MUNICH LOCAL DIVISION Trends and Developments Contributed by: Julia Traumann and Ulrich Blumenröder, Grünecker Patent- und Rechtsanwälte PartG mbB
when it comes to inducing the parties to fully plead their case, and also regarding facts. Conclusion As a new player in the field of patent litigation, the UPC is still in the process of establishing its role and defining the scope of its activities, and the Local Division Munich plays a very important role therein. A (wider) analysis of recent decisions and emerging trends indicates that the UPC is on the way to positioning itself as an efficient ven - ue for resolving patent disputes within the given legal framework. This is evident both in its rather broad interpretation of its jurisdiction, and in its readiness to assert extensive powers under the UPCA. It appears that, in line with its objective, the UPC is becoming a key component of the European patent landscape, offering users a uni - fied, effective and transparent litigation forum.
