Partner and Registered Patent Attorney Jeff Lewis will speak on the panel "Blurring the Boundaries: Cross-Border Patent Litigation" at the 2026 AIPPI World Congress in Hamburg, Germany. The panel will explore the implications of courts competing for jurisdiction in patent litigation, including the Temporary Restraining Order that Judge Albright (W.D. Texas) issued blocking Onesta from pursuing a German injunction action against BMW and the CJEU's judgment in BSH/Electrolux. The panel will examine broader trends in cross-border patent enforcement, including protection of client confidences (privilege), jurisdictional reach, and forum selection, offering comparative perspectives from major patent systems including the Unified Patent Court, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China.
