  Infringement ActionÖffentlich

  Zusammenfassung: The Dusseldorf Local Division found Beko Germany GmbH and Arcelik A.S. liable for direct infringement of claim 1 and indirect infringement of claim 6 of EP 3 605 534, rejected their Art. 102 TFEU/Huawei v. ZTE FRAND defence because they never expressed an initial willingness to take a licence, and ordered an injunction, recall, destruction, disclosure and damages in principle. It dismissed the claimant's request to have the judgment published and dismissed the revocation counterclaim (UPC_CFI_477/2024) after a full merits examination of added matter, novelty and inventive step, upholding the patent as granted.
