Frequently Asked Questions About UPC Opt-Out

What is a UPC opt-out?

A UPC opt-out allows patent holders to exclude their European patents from the jurisdiction of the Unified Patent Court. This means disputes about these patents will be handled by national courts instead of the UPC.

Which smartcards does WunderSign support?

WunderSign supports LuxTrust and D-Trust smartcards, which are accepted by the UPC for qualified electronic signatures. Both are eIDAS-qualified trust service providers.

Can I withdraw an opt-out later?

Yes, opt-outs can be withdrawn as long as no court proceedings have been initiated. WunderSign also supports the withdrawal process.

Is my data secure?

Yes, WunderSign is 100% hosted in Europe. Private keys never leave your smartcard. All processing happens locally on your machine. We are GDPR compliant.

How many opt-outs can I process at once?

There is no limit. We have processed portfolios of 500+ opt-outs in a single session. The batch processing is designed for large volumes.

Do I need special hardware?

You need a USB smartcard reader and a qualified smartcard from LuxTrust or D-Trust. WunderSign works on Windows and macOS.
