UK and UPC: a test of compatibility

Many people are concerned that the UK might leave the Unified Patent Court (UPC) upon leaving the EU. The concern may have arisen from a lack of understanding of the UPC Agreement and incomplete studies of the January 17 Brexit policy statement by the UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, with people focusing only on the words “we will take back control of our laws and bring an end to the jurisdiction” of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Britain.
