On June 27, 2024, the Unified Patent Court (UPC) opened a new section of the Central Division in Milan, following the decision of the Administrative Committee of 26 June 2023 amending the Agreement relating to the Unified Patent Court (UPCA) to establish a section of the Central Division in Milan.
This section is in charge of International Patent Classification class A patent disputes: the “human necessities” sector, including pharmaceutical and medical devices, agriculture, food, tobacco, home appliances, clothing, wood and furniture, fire-fighting, and the sports and gaming/ entertainment industry, but excluding patents involving supplementary protection certificates (SPCs).
