On 16 January 2026 the3million and Seraphus jointly issued two updated complementary briefings on return travel to the UK for those with status under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), or with a pending application under the Scheme, focused on (i) what carriers will accept at check-in and (ii) what Border Force may do on arrival. The briefings are up to date for recent/forthcoming developments such as the full enforcement of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme from 25 February 2026.

The advocacy group the 3million has launched a new reporting tool for persons with an eVisa who are having difficulties with their digital immigration status. It will enable the 3million to monitor these issues during the ongoing move to digital status. The tool covers persons' problems viewing and proving status, updating status with new contact or identity document details, or any other issues. The tool can be used by individuals reporting their own problems as well as persons reporting on behalf of someone else and employers, landlords or other service providers who have had a problem checking someone else's status.

The 3million has published Q&As in conjunction with Seraphus covering some practical issues recently arising in the European Settlement Scheme (EUSS) and the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme. One is on pre-settled status, extensions, and ‘automatic’ conversions to settled status (5 May 2025); and the other covers what the ETA scheme means for EU citizens with pre-settled status, and British/EU Member State dual nationals (12 June 2025)

IP analysis: This case represents another decision in the global patent battle between the claimants (Nokia) and the defendants (Oppo) in respect of Nokia’s allegation that Oppo have infringed European Patent (UK) No 2 981 103 B1 (the Patent) by the sale of certain mobile phones with 4G/LTE and 5G functionality (the Alleged Infringement). In contrast to the separate action heard by Mr Justice Meade between Nokia and Oppo in relation to the validity of Nokia’s separate implementation patent ([2022] EWHC 2814 (Pat)), this case concerned the validity of Nokia’s standard essential patent (SEP). Oppo did not generally deny essentiality or infringement, but rather argued that the Patent was invalid on multiple grounds. The court held that the Patent was indeed valid and essential, meaning that the Patent was infringed by the presence of 4G and 5G functionality in Oppo’s mobile phones.
