An invitation-only strategic briefing for in-house IP leaders

🗓️ Date: Thursday 16 April 2026
🕐 Time: 13.00pm GMT
🧑‍💻 Live webinar + Q&A
⏳ Duration: 60 minutes + 15 minutes for questions

Standard Essential Patent (SEP) litigation is entering a more complex and fragmented phase. Courts in the UK, Germany/UPC, the US, and China are increasingly diverging in how injunctions are granted, resisted, and leveraged — with direct implications for licensing strategy, forum choice, and global dispute management.
This invitation-only webinar brings together senior in-house IP, legal, and licensing professionals for a focused discussion on how SEP injunction strategy is evolving in 2026 and what this means for organisations exposed to multi-jurisdictional risk.

What we will cover

How courts in the UK, Germany/UPC, the US, and China are currently approaching injunctions in SEP disputes and where strategies are converging or diverging.

  • What still works (and what now creates risk) when using anti-suit and anti-anti-suit injunctions.
  • How global SEP litigation strategy is shifting, including forum selection, sequencing, and negotiation leverage.
  • What in-house teams need to manage cost, timing, and board-level risk in complex, multi-jurisdictional SEP disputes.

This session is deliberately structured to encourage open, practical conversation rather than panel commentary.

  • Attendance will be restricted, with priority given to implementers and patent owners.
  • Participation from private practice will be limited to maintain a balanced and candid discussion environment.
  • The session is designed to be interactive, with opportunities for participants to raise real-world strategic questions.
