The unitary patent came into force on June 1, 2023, as did the Unified Patent Court (UPC).
To date, 6 invalidity actions and 35 infringement actions have been brought before the UPC, according to information available online.
Most disputes are referred to the Munich Central Division.
It seems that the articulation of rights and procedures between the JUB and the European Patent Office is the key issue in most invalidity actions.
