frand11100%
sep infringement — injunction not automatically barred by frand commitment where defendant's counterclaim fails on the merits11100%
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%
security is not required where defendants have already ceased infringing conduct and face no material harm from the order11100%
provisional measures may issue on a preliminary assessment of infringement without full determination of merits11100%
where defendant does not substantively contest infringement, validity threshold for provisional measures is met11100%
provisional cost reimbursement under upc provisional measures practice11100%
when assessing costs after separation of proceedings, the entire legal dispute pre-separation must be considered110%
separation must not create an advantage or disadvantage in cost allocation110%
substantiation of infringement required for each territory and each act alleged110%
intertemporal applicability of upca: acts after 1 june 2023 governed by upca; pre-upca acts governed by national law; ongoing acts continuing after 1 june 2023 governed by upca with parties able to invoke favourable national law for earlier acts11100%
right to information (art. 67 upca) extends to pre-entry-into-force periods11100%
