What to expect in the world of work?
The reform of the Labour Code is transforming the present and shaping the future of professional relations. Gómez-Acebo & Pombo invites you to explore this challenge with us. The need to adapt labour legislation to new challenges is today more pressing than ever. The draft bill presented by the Government has highlighted key issues — such as parenthood, pay equality and transparency, remote work, flexible working arrangements, and digital platform work — that require an in-depth revision to respond to today’s reality. In this meeting, we will discuss the impact of these issues on people and business management and the (possible) mismatch between law and practice, with contributions from various stakeholders to foster an essential debate on the future of work in Portugal.

The Unified Patent Court grants interim relief regarding a European patent validated in Spain: critical considerations
The Decision of the Hamburg Local Division of the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court dated 14 August 2025 grants interim relief because it claims jurisdiction to hear the substance of the matter (both the infringement of the unitary patent in the States party to the UPC Agreement and the Spanish validation of the European patent on which the unitary patent is based). To this end, the court offers a series of observations on its international jurisdiction, not all of which are accurate.

The Unified Patent Court takes jurisdiction to hear a claim concerning the infringement of the UK national part of a European patent, even when the validity of the patent is being disputed
In a decision dated 18 July 2025, the Mannheim Division of the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court took jurisdiction to hear a claim filed against three companies domiciled in Germany for infringement of a classic European patent with effect in Germany and the United Kingdom. The court’s jurisdiction to hear the infringement of the UK national part of European patents is not affected by the fact that the validity of the patent is disputed by the defendants. However, this conclusion does not apply to Spanish national parts of European patents.
