Our UPC Representatives

Strategic and experienced UPC representation 

Berggren’s UPC representatives combine extensive litigation experience with deep technical and legal expertise gained before national courts and the European Patent Office’s Opposition Divisions and Boards of Appeal.

With professionals strategically located near key UPC divisions in Munich and Helsinki, we are well positioned to handle complex, cross-border patent disputes efficiently and with a clear strategic focus. When you work with our team, your case is guided by experienced practitioners who understand both the legal framework and the technical substance of your invention.

Our dedicated UPC team advises you on:

  • Obtaining and managing Unitary Patents
  • Opting out existing European patents and structuring effective opt-out strategies
  • Navigating transitional periods and selecting the optimal forum
  • Leveraging opportunities for parallel protection and double patenting
  • Designing and implementing enforcement and defence strategies before the UPC
  • Managing costs, court fees, and litigation risk under the new system
