Please share this with your firm’s marketing director.
Last week, ip fray became aware of an interesting fact: one firm (and not necessarily one of the first ones that would come to mind) has already appeared — physically — in almost every Unified Patent Court (UPC) venue. That is interesting, and ip fray loves venue diversity. But rather than report on just one firm’s story, everyone should have the chance to inform ip fray of their multi-venue work.
Please send an email to input at this website’s domain with the following information:
- Please provide a list of the UPC venues in which your firm has physically participated in a hearing, giving an example of at least one hearing (case caption and date) for each of those venues. Note that Local Divisions and Central Divisions, even if in the same city, count as separate venues.
- Please also indicate how many registered UPC Representatives your firm currently has.
- If you are prepared to go this extra mile, please also provide the venue diversity list (item 1) on a per-attorney basis so we can identify the individual UPC Representatives who have physically appeared in the largest number of UPC venues.
As for the format in which you provide the information, it is your choice. It can be in the body of the email; it can be a text file (Word or OpenOffice Writer); or a spreadsheet (Excel or OpenOffice Calc).
Please provide this information by Tuesday, December 10. You can also include information on any hearings at which attorneys from your firm will physically appear on a later date in December if it is reasonably certain that they will be there.
Thank you! The UPC litigation community (in-house as well as outside counsel) will benefit from this. Again, the address is input at this website’s domain.
