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 which of the UPC's 13 local, regional, and central divisions to file in. Divisions diverge in preliminary-injunction grant rates, time-to-decision, language of proceedings, and patent owner win share — 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.
