The Court Structure Sample Clauses

The Court Structure. Under the new patent court structure, there will be a court of first instance, an appeals court and a registry.24 The appeals court will sit in and the registry will be located in Luxembourg.25 However, the Court will not be part of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), although the primacy of EU law is to be respected and questions of EU law arising in cases brought before the UPC may be referred to the CJEU by both the court of first instance and the court of appeal.26 The court of first instance will have local/regional divisions and a three-branch 23This is the unitary patent regulation. 24Agreement on a Unified Patent Court Article 6. 25Agreement on a Unified Patent Court Articles 9 and 10. 26Agreement on Unified Patent Court Articles 20 and 21 and Statutes of the UPC Article 38.
