The European Practice Committee Conference 2022, organized by the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO), took place on June 10, 2022, at the Münchner Künstlerhaus in Munich, Germany. This annual event brought together intellectual property professionals to discuss pressing issues and developments in the European IP landscape.

The conference featured sessions on topics such as the G 2/21 decision and the question of plausibility, the Unified Patent Court's approach to injunctions, the "Rule 30 problem," and the treatment of equivalents under the UPC.
