Statistics on the Unified Patent Court: Withdrawal and conclusion rates - October 2026
As part of HOYNG ROKH MONEGIER's series on statistics on the Unified Patent Court (UPC), this section presents how often patent disputes are concluded through a withdrawal. It is limited to infringement and revocation actions, declarations of non-infringement and applications for provisional measures, both at first instance and on appeal.
The analysis draws on publicly available UPC records compiled as of 19 October 2026. Withdrawals include proceedings discontinued or settled before a substantive decision. On appeal, the figures distinguish between all relevant appeals under rule 220.1 of the Rules of Procedure (RoP) and those directed specifically at first instance findings on the merits.
