  Zusammenfassung: HEADNOTES SHEET ONLY (Leitsaetze, Lokalkammer Muenchen), one page, image-only with no text layer. It states three legal principles on provisional measures under Art. 62 UPCA and contains NO operative part, no parties and no order. It is the headnote page of the 2023-09-19 provisional-measures ruling on this docket, whose two other PDFs are already extracted as preliminary_injunction_granted. The outcome fields are set to MATCH those siblings so that collapseDecisionVariants folds this variant into the same ruling; they are NOT read from the face of this document, which decides nothing.
