This book provides practical and detailed account of all procedural aspects of the Unified Patent Court and Unitary Patent system.

The book also explains how the UPC works in the context of the wider European patent system, particularly the EPO and the UK. It considers how parties can use it to enforce or revoke European patents and the Unitary Patent, in particular:

- The procedures of the UPC from initiating proceedings to appeal, damages and costs hearings;
- Rules on competence, substantive law, jurisdiction, language and judges;
- The operation of the system alongside the national courts of the contracting countries, the European Patent Office opposition and appeal procedure, and parallel English Patents Court proceedings.

NEW TO THE 2ND EDITION: Additional chapters on the impact of the UPC and Unitary Patent on managing licences, and on confidentiality; coverage of the latest UPC guidance; references and case notes on every significant procedural case from the UPC divisions and the Court of Appeal; and coverage of every Rule of the Rules of Procedure.

The book is written by a team of patent experts with many years of experience in patent litigation in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, as well as hands-on experience of running cases in the UPC from its inception. It provides insights from national and UPC practice on the features above and identifies points of interpretation. A must read for private practitioners and in-house counsel.

Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data
As artificial intelligence and big data analytics reshape economies and societies, the promise of innovation is increasingly shadowed by concerns over inclusion, equity, and global justice. This accessible, interdisciplinary volume brings together established and emerging voices from across the world to critically examine issues lying at the intersection of innovation, intellectual property, and inequality in the age of artificial intelligence and big data. <p/>Featuring empirical studies, legal analyses, policy critiques, interdisciplinary perspectives, and global insights, <em>Inclusive Innovation in the Age of AI and Big Data</em> underscores the tremendous impact gender, race, and other socioeconomic factors have on innovation and intellectual property ecosystems. This volume also explores structural barriers in these ecosystems, diversity initiatives in the patent area, metrics for measuring inclusivity and diversity in innovation, changes brought about by artificial intelligence and big data, and the evolution of the global innovation and intellectual property systems. <p/>In an era marked by rapid technological change, extraordinary opportunities, and deepening inequality, this volume offers carefully designed reform strategies and policy recommendations to make innovation and intellectual property ecosystems more equitable, effective, and socially responsive. <p/>This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.
