Licensing Executives Society USA-Canada | How the European Unified Patent Court (UPC) is Reshaping the Global Litigation Landscape by Driving Settlements Ian DiBernardo, partner and co-chair of Brown Rudnick’s Intellectual Property Litigation Practice Group, will join the Licensing Executives Society (LES) USA-Canada for their 2026 Annual Meeting on October 20 in San Diego. LES brings IP and licensing professionals in the United States and Canada together to build relationships, encourage growth, advocate and collaborate to solve the critical issues facing our industry today and in the future. Ian will moderate the panel “How the European Unified Patent Court (UPC) is Reshaping the Global Litigation Landscape by Driving Settlements,” examining how the UPC is transforming the resolution of cross-border patent disputes, particularly those involving parallel litigation in Europe and the United States, including its growing influence on settlement dynamics, injunction practice, and global enforcement strategies. Attendees will gain practical insights into coordinating UPC and U.S. district court litigation, preparing patent portfolios for UPC enforcement, and developing prosecution strategies that strengthen patent rights.
