They are preventive statements sent to the UPC by a company to protect itself against provisional or protective measures that could be requested ex parte (without prior adversarial proceedings) by a patent holder. Protective letters are valid for six months and can be renewed once.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">A protective letter allows a company to put forward its defence arguments in advance (no infringement, patent invalidity, no urgency, etc.) in the event that an application for seizure or injunction is submitted to the UPC without a prior hearing.
