Following completion of the course, Caleb has now registered as a representative before the Unified Patent Court (UPC), the new court common to seventeen EU member states which celebrated its one-year anniversary on 1st June 2024.
He joins UK partners Richard Korn and Kelly Virdee-Crofts as representatives registered before the UPC and permitted to use the title “European Patent Litigator,” capable of acting on behalf of claimants and defendants in proceedings before the court.
