The construction industry is undergoing a transformation, particularly in terms of addressing the impact construction has on the environment. It is no surprise that AI is already playing a huge part in this transformation.
Scandinavia and the Baltic States have long enjoyed strong political and economic ties, trading across the Baltic Sea for centuries. Denmark, Sweden, and Norway - often collectively referred to as Scandinavia - are renowned for innovation and the development of disruptive technologies. Sweden and Denmark consistently rank in the top ten for the world’s most innovative countries.
The decarbonisation of the shipping industry demands ports to find more sustainable ways to operate as much as the decarbonisation of vessels. In this article we look at how hardware innovation could help decarbonise ports.
As individuals, we are all well used to recycling plastics, paper, and glass, but industry needs to become just as active with the way they recycle the materials they use and the waste they produce. For the construction industry, this hinges on finding the best ways to recycle concrete.
Can battery recycling innovation satisfy the growing demand for more sustainable battery production in Europe?
In a decision which has sent shockwaves across the European patent community, the CJEU has this week expanded upon the cross-border long-arm jurisdiction of the Courts of EU Member States.
The Düsseldorf Local Division has released a remarkable decision concerning the ‘long arm jurisdiction’ of the UPC, in which it confirmed its jurisdiction to determine infringement of the UK designation of a European patent, provided the defendant is domiciled in a UPC Contracting Member State.
In a January 2025 judgment, the Court of Appeal upheld the judgment of the High Court (Patents Court) in the case of Merck Serono S.A. (Appellant) v The Comptroller-General of Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (Respondent).
At the intersection of technology, law, and innovation stands Dave Clark, a Partner at Potter Clarkson, renowned for his expertise in software, AI, and electronics-based patents.
A new report WIPO Technology Trends - Future of Transportation aims to drive the development of sustainable, efficient, and connected transportation systems aligned with the UN's 2030 Agenda. We take a closer look.
The Court of Appeal has confirmed that a typographical error in a patent claim can only be corrected if the error and its correction are sufficiently certain to the skilled person. The patent claim remains the decisive basis for interpretation, with the description and drawings as explanatory aids.
In a recent decision, the UPC Court of Appeal confirmed it can hear a claim for damages following a national court’s infringement finding, and that damages can date back before 1 June 2023 if the patent was still in force. This offers parties to national litigation a second route to seek (and potentially maximise) damages.

Circular construction is the practice of reusing and reappropriating buildings and building materials to ensure they are reused, adapted and rebuilt for as long as possible. Doing this reduces waste, overreliance on certain resources and emissions.
Patenting AI-based inventions can be challenging in many jurisdictions. In recent years the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has gained a reputation for being less friendly to AI-based inventions.
