In the latest episode of our monthly podcast, the team joins you live from the Managing IP Intellectual Property & Innovation Summit in London, where SEPs and the UPC were both top of mind

It’s been another busy month for the Managing IP editorial team with the build-up to the Unified Patent Court and subsequent launch, on June 1, taking centre stage.

In this episode of The IP Lounge podcast, which we recorded from the IP & Innovation Summit held in London last week, we discuss industry reaction to the UPC as well as the latest on the European Commission’s plans to overhaul the EU’s standard-essential patent framework.

We also delve into the race for the EUIPO leadership, which has taken a major step towards completion, while our team members share their views on other hot topics discussed during the conference and what’s been happening elsewhere.
