  Zusammenfassung: Paris Central Division panel order (Haedicke/Zhilova/Roselinger, 17 Aug 2026) in SprintRay Inc. v two Liechtenstein-resident patentees (names withheld) concerning EP 3 762 212 (revocation action UPC_CFI_2020/2025 and declaration of non-infringement action UPC_CFI_2034/2025): the defendants' request to change the language of proceedings from German to English is rejected because Art. 49(6) UPCA fixes the patent's language before the central division and neither R. 9.1 RoP nor analogy to Art. 49(5) UPCA / R. 323 RoP permits a change; the auxiliary requests to file pleadings and hold the interim conference and oral hearing in English, and the request for own-cost interpretation (filed in English), are also rejected; leave to appeal is granted.
