A coalition of intellectual property organizations has petitioned the Unified Patent Court (UPC) to reverse its ban on in-house lawyers representing clients in court. They argue that this restriction undermines cost-effective legal representation and overlooks the deep expertise of in-house counsel. 

The UPC’s decision has sparked debates about fairness and access in patent litigation.
