The Commentary is co-edited by our partner Sabine Agé, together with Alex Wilson and Christof Augenstein.
Its unique approach highlights and contextualises the international origins of the UPCA and the Rules of Procedure, offering insights from expert authors across key European patent jurisdictions including France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and the Nordics. Contributors include Pete Damerell, Peter FitzPatrick, Emmanuel Gougé, Andreas Haberl, Alexander Haertel, Rainer Hilli, William Hillson, Miriam Kiefer LL.M., Gertjan Kuipers, Tim Powell, Konstantin Schallmoser, Tess Waldron, and Tim Whitfield
Beyond incorporating the latest UPC case law, the Commentary provides valuable background on the development of the provisions, drawing on national practice and case law. This makes it an essential resource for practitioners and judges alike.
