Forum strategy on data, not war stories.
When the matter is high-stakes, gut feel doesn't survive cross-examination. UPClytics gives patent litigators the data behind the forum decision, the judge profile, and the settlement number — pulled from the public record of the Unified Patent Court, ready to cite in a memo.
Two questions every UPC litigator brings.
Where should I file — and what is the actual PI grant rate there?
The public registry gives you decisions, not patterns. Preliminary-injunction grant rates, time-to-decision, and patent owner win share vary materially across the 13 divisions: Munich's local division has the deepest patent-owner-friendly track record, the Court of Appeal has been the headline-grabber on long-arm jurisdiction, and the divisions diverge by case category and language of proceedings.
What does drawing this judge mean?
Panel composition is a litigation variable. Each named UPC judge has a preliminary-injunction history, a time-to-decision profile, and prior pairings with the firms and parties on the other side. The visible benches are widely discussed; the rest of the court runs quieter, docket-shaping panels that the data picks up.
Long-arm jurisdiction is the 2025 story.
The UPC Court of Appeal has expanded the court's effective reach to defendants seated outside the EU — the UK, Switzerland, even further afield — turning what was once a continental forum question into a global one. Forum strategy at the UPC now sits inside a broader jurisdictional calculus, and the data needs to keep pace.
