Taking evidence in proceedings before the UPC
The law provides certain guidelines to ensure that evidence presented to the court can be regarded as trustworthy. In Europe, the measures available to obtain evidence have varied from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In 2004, in an effort to harmonise these measures, EU Directive 2004/48/EU on the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights came into force. However, there remain significant disparities in evidence-gathering procedures in patent jurisdictions in the EU.
