Particular attention deserves the new supplementary forum that enables the UPC to hear disputes involving defendants from third States that relate to an infringement of a European patent giving rise to damage as well inside as outside the Union. Granting jurisdiction to the UPC to adjudicate infringements outside the territory of the Contracting States to the UPC Agreement on the basis of an asset-related supplementary ground of jurisdiction as the one established under the new Regulation seems questionable.spajournal articleopen access34(4-672UE)341.9347.77/.78PatentsUnified CourtInternational JurisdictionRecognition and Enforcement of JudgmentsDerecho comunitario (Unión Europea)Derecho internacional privadoPropiedad intelectualUnión Europea (Derecho)5603 Derecho Internacional
