JUVE Patent has published an article regarding the prevalence of no-notice suits in Europe at the UPC and in the United States. The article dives into why sue-first tactics are a problem that undermines the underlying goals of patent law. Written by Michelle Aspen and Jonathan Stroud, the article was drafted as part of ongoing efforts by Unified Edge to advocate for better patent policies here and abroad.
