Soccer-related UPC proceedings

With the European soccer championship about to start in June, it is interesting to note that an application for provisional measures pursuant to R. 206 UPCA was lodged recently based on EP 1 944 067. The patent relates to a technique of detecting an offside situation in a soccer match.

The Union des Associations Européennes de Football (UEFA) is one of the co-defendants.

The matter is pending under the official case number ACT_16267/2024.
