direct infringement of uv led patent11100%
corrective measures under art. 64 upca (withdrawal and destruction)11100%
information disclosure for damages calculation11100%
provisional damages and cost allocation11100%
frand11100%
sep infringement — injunction not automatically barred by frand commitment where defendant's counterclaim fails on the merits11100%
business relationship under art. 33(1)(b) upca: membership in the same corporate group with aligned commercial activities (r&d, manufacturing, sales of the same products) is sufficient110%
same infringement allegation does not require complete identity of infringing acts; aligned/parallel acts directed at the same objective suffice110%
non-eu-domiciled parent companies do not independently ground jurisdiction under art. 33(1)(b); jurisdiction flows from eu-domiciled subsidiaries110%
jurisdictional assessment at the preliminary stage uses a 'cursory look' standard without pre-judging the merits110%
no hierarchy between art. 33(1)(a) (infringement locus) and art. 33(1)(b) (domicile) competence grounds110%
competence assessment uses a 'cursory look' standard; comprehensive evidentiary review would improperly anticipate the merits (coa barco v yealink)110%
sufficiently asserting infringement in the relevant contracting state (e.g. via a website directed at european customers including german clients) is enough to establish art. 33(1)(a) competence110%
whether a defendant from a non-contracting state (e.g. bosnia) actually commits infringing acts is a merits question, not a jurisdictional threshold110%
direct infringement of all features of granted/amended claim 1 suffices for injunctive relief11100%
late-filed arguments/evidence at oral hearing may be disregarded11100%
patent upheld in opposition (b2 form) carries persuasive weight in infringement proceedings11100%
injunction conditions include notification and certified translation requirements before enforcement11100%
all claim amendments evaluated for inventive step; no 'safe harbour' in amendment merely by adding features already disclosed in prior art110%
generalisation of a prior-art concept from one technical sub-domain to a related one does not involve an inventive step110%
