Partner, Carpmaels & Ransford LLP
Agathe is one of Carpmaels & Ransford partners leading the UPC patent litigation practice. She is currently representing clients at the Unified Patent Court and is one of the few UPC representatives having already had advocacy experience in UPC hearings (both at first instance and on appeal). She has successfully litigated in France, the UK, and Germany, and has represented clients in EPO oppositions for over ten years. As a result, Agathe understands the practicalities of a successful litigation strategy when it involves multiple countries and has coordinated parallel cases in more than 25 countries. Agathe is particularly well placed to understand the challenges and benefits of UPC proceedings especially at the start of the court where the new rules are open to interpretation. She defends clients in major cross-border patent litigation and in innovation-heavy transactions. With her very rich and diverse experience in European courts, Agathe is a registered UPC representative and continues to advise clients on unitary patent related questions.
