Brita SE obtained an ex parte preliminary injunction from the Hamburg Local Division against Polish respondent Fileder Filter Systems for infringement of EP 2 131 940 B1 protecting a water filter device with a locking shaft mechanism. The injunction covers 14 UPC contracting states, requires delivery-up of infringing products, and mandates disclosure of distribution channels; Brita must provide EUR 50,000 security and received EUR 34,700 in provisional cost reimbursement.
