The Unified Patent Court (UPC) announced yesterday that the overall capacity and performance of the CMS has improved and public APIs would be reactivated this morning. As reported, certain functions of the CMS, including all public APIs, were temporarily restricted on 23 May to maximise capacity to ensure that users who wanted to file opt-outs in the sunrise period, i.e. before the Court opened on 1 June, could do so. Users are now advised “to make appropriate use of these APIs by making reasonable and useful requests to the CMS database. To optimize search time and result provided by the APIs it is recommended to define specific search parameters, including date ranges, patent numbers, case number, party name, etc.”
