Limits of the Unified Patent Court’s long arm with regard to Spain (II): the controversial judgment of the Court of Justice in the BSH/Electrolux case

11 of June, 2025

This document sets out and criticises the doctrine established by the CJEU in its Judgment of 25 February 2025, C-339/22, BSH/Electrolux, ECLI:EU:C:2025:108. Although the dispute underlying the judgment was not brought before the UPC, the interpretation of the CJEU in the BSH/Electrolux judgment is equally applicable, since said court is equivalent to the national courts of the contracting states party to the UPC Agreement.
