The Unified Patent Court will revolutionise patent litigation funding

A group of top funders who specialise in patent finance, including Katharine Wolanyk, MD of Burford, Emily O’Neill of Deminor and James Blick of Erso Capital, describe how the new pan-European Unified Patent Court (UPC) and unitary patent resolve key problems that have prevented many European patent owners from benefiting from third-party funding, not only increasing the potential damages available for patentees in Europe and streamlining the process for obtaining these rewards, but potentially also offering important strategic advantages over US litigation for funders and patentees.
