Furthermore, although the applicable law with regard to the infringement of the European patent validated in States that are not party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court is the national law of those States, with regard to the scope of patent protection, the UPC imposes on the defendant\u2014unduly\u2014the burden of proving the specifics of national law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
