Questions, answered.
Is UPClytics limited to the Unified Patent Court?
Yes. The UPC is pan-European, multilingual, three years old, and underserved by legacy patent-litigation tools. Adjacent EPO and national-office data is referenced where it sharpens a UPC question.
What does 'forum strategy' mean at the UPC?
Forum strategy is choosing where to file among the UPC's 13 local divisions, its regional division, and a central division sitting in Paris, Munich and Milan. Divisions diverge in preliminary-injunction grant rates, time-to-decision, language of proceedings, and patent owner win share, and the choice meaningfully shapes both odds and timeline.
How quickly is a new filing reflected?
New filings are indexed daily from the public docket. Decisions are extracted, classified, and surfaced as they land.
Do you support German, French, Italian, Dutch?
Yes — decisions are processed natively in their issued language, then normalized into structured outcomes a non-native reader can use.
What is a security-for-costs order at the UPC?
Under R.158 of the UPC Rules of Procedure and Art. 69(4) UPCA, a defendant may ask the court to order the claimant to post security for the defendant's likely costs. The Court of Appeal in Syntorr v. Arthrex clarified that litigation-insurance policies can satisfy this requirement.
