As cross-border patent disputes expand, companies now face parallel proceedings in the UK, the UPC, the US, and Asia. From Unwired Planet v. Huawei to Panasonic v. 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.
• Review recent cross-border disputes, including Edwards Lifesciences v. Meril Life Sciences and Apple v. Masimo, to identify emerging litigation patterns across sectors.
