Monterey: From a lengthy "Q&A guide to patent litigation in the UK (England and Wales)."



30. How long do patent infringement proceedings typically last?

Patent proceedings typically last around a year. The precise time will depend on the:

Length and complexity of the case.
Attitude of the parties.
Amount of active case management by the court.
Availability of court time.

If there is an assessment of damages, a further period will be required although most parties deal with damages by agreement.
