BerufungsentscheidungGeneric application
Court of Appeal (Panel 2) order staying appeal proceedings in a revocation action concerning EP 3 504 990 (a patent relating to nicotine/vaping products). The Central Division Paris had revoked the patent at first instance. Juul Labs appealed and applied for a stay pending parallel EPO opposition appeal proceedings (oral hearing scheduled for 14 November 2025). NJOY consented to the stay. The Court of Appeal granted the stay under R. 295(a) RoP / Art. 33(10) UPCA, finding that the EPO proceedings could be expected to conclude rapidly relative to the UPC's own timetable.
