Review of patent cases in the English Courts in 2025

We are pleased to share our annual Patents: Review of the Year publication. This year, as we celebrate our 25th anniversary, marks a significant milestone for us at Bristows.

In the accompanying webinar, our patents team discusses the headline statistics and their personal selection of the “Top 10” patent cases from the English courts in 2025. The discussion covers preliminary injunctions, developments in the FRAND space, a rare damages inquiry, and reflections on the evolving case law and procedure.

We hope you enjoy both the publication and the discussion. Please read and watch below.
