The UPC Court of Appeal examines whether conditional counterclaims for patent revocation are permissible under the Unified Patent Court Agreement, and whether such counterclaims constitute separate actions requiring distinct appeals or cross-appeals. The decision addresses the procedural treatment of unfulfilled conditional counterclaims and the circumstances under which courts must rule on their merits.
