European Patent Litigation Certificate offered by ERA and Maastricht University returns for new edition
![]() |
Classic Kat-approved litigation |
The IPKat friends at ERA wish to inform readers that the European Patent Litigation Certificate (EPLC) course, which they have developed and offer in partnership with Maastricht University, is ready for a new edition, starting 24 September 2025.
The EPLC course leads to a certified professional qualification that entitles European patent attorneys to represent clients before the UPC. According to the organizers, this certificate is designed to equip participants with the legal expertise to plead cases before the UPC and to ensure that representatives are fully equipped to navigate complex patent disputes.
Officially accredited by the Administrative Committee of the UPC, the EPLC programme is designed according to a flexible learning structure and features practical case analyses and simulated court hearings for a more realistic training experience organized in small groups. It also provides participants with a rich social agenda, and a visit to the Court of Justice of the European Union (with also the possibility of attending a hearing if one is scheduled to take place on the day of the visit) and the UPC in Luxembourg.
Places are limited, so if you are interested do check all relevant information here.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
