In April 2019, Professor Caron published a paper in 'Communication - Commerce électronique' about wrongful infringement actions, like those involving patent trolls in patent law. In his paper, he presents, from the perspective of European Union law and French law, concepts that enable or could enable us to combat these bad infringement actions that tarnish the image of intellectual property.

More work needed to improve public access to UPC patent case documents
Last month a law firm submitted a request for documents under rule 262.1 (b) of the UPC Rules of Procedure, which ensures that written pleadings and evidence in patent litigation proceedings are available to the public “upon reasoned request.” The firm is calling on the central division of the Unified Patent Court in Munich to make available all written pleadings and evidence for a pending case in the court.
The aim of the law firm, Mathys & Squire, is to establish a clear and consistent path for the public to access these documents in the future. IP2Innovate fully supports this initiative. We have been campaigning for more transparency in patent litigation for many years, and welcomed the improvement to the status quo that the UPC’s rules promised.
