On 5 November, August Debouzy took part in **IAM Live: Navigating the UPC 2025**, one of the key international events dedicated to the Unified Patent Court. The conference brought together leading corporate legal officers, patent attorneys, lawyers, and judges to discuss recent developments, practical challenges, and opportunities arising from the UPC’s first years of operation.

Our patent partners **François Pochart, Lionel Martin**, and **Grégoire Desrousseaux** represented the firm at this year’s edition. We were especially honored to contribute to the program: **Lionel Martin** moderated the session “*Mastering the UPC: Insights from Inside the Court*”, which featured five judges of the Unified Patent Court, while **François Pochart** presented “*Preliminary Injunction Insights: Tactics and Takeaways.*”

This event provided a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives with peers across Europe and to deepen our collective understanding of how the UPC is shaping patent litigation strategy.

We thank **IAM Media** for organizing such a high-caliber program and all participants for the stimulating discussions throughout the day.
