The Unified Patent Court takes jurisdiction to hear a claim concerning the infringement of the UK national part of a European patent, even when the validity of the patent is being disputed
In a decision dated 18 July 2025, the Mannheim Division of the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court took jurisdiction to hear a claim filed against three companies domiciled in Germany for infringement of a classic European patent with effect in Germany and the United Kingdom.

However, this conclusion does not apply to Spanish national parts of European patents.

What is truly new is the obligation imposed on specific companies and public bodies to calculate their carbon footprint and to draw up greenhouse gas emission reduction plans, as well as to publish the same.
