UPC APP 14061/2024

Procedural order from the Nordic-Baltic Regional Division (UPC_CFI_380/2023) dismissing Meril entities' application for security for costs against Edwards Lifesciences in an infringement action concerning EP 3 769 722. The Court held that the mere fact that the claimant is located in the United States does not justify ordering security for costs, as this would constitute an unjustified restriction of the right to an effective remedy; the risk of unenforceability in the US was deemed insufficient.
