The court assessed the total value of proceedings at EUR 8 million (infringement action EUR 4 million plus revocation counterclaim at equal value) and set the security at 50% of the EUR 600,000 recoverable costs ceiling.

    Infringement ActionÖffentlich

    Zusammenfassung: The judge-rapporteur ruled on a preliminary objection (R.19 RoP) concerning international jurisdiction. The UPC's jurisdiction over Defendants 1 and 2 (domiciled in China) for alleged infringing acts in the UK is deferred to the decision on the merits, while the preliminary objection against Defendant 7 (BYD UK, domiciled in the UK) is upheld — the Paris Local Division has no international jurisdiction over a defendant domiciled in a third country who is not alleged to have committed any infringing act within EU/UPC territory. The request for a preliminary ruling referral to the CJEU is rejected.

Angenommene Argumente
Was das Gericht akzeptiert hat — nach Partei.
  • The UPC lacks international jurisdiction over Defendant 7 (BYD UK) because it is domiciled in a third country (UK) and the alleged infringing acts take place exclusively in the UK — there is no connection with UPC or EU territory, so jurisdiction cannot be based on Art. 4, Art. 7(2), or Art. 8(1) Brussels I bis

    BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 4(1), Art. 7(2), Art. 8(1), Art. 71b(2) Brussels I bis (Regulation 1215/2012); Art. 31 UPCA
  • The question of jurisdiction over Defendants 1 and 2 (China-domiciled) for UK infringement acts is closely connected to claims against EU-domiciled defendants and should be examined at the merits stage to avoid risk of irreconcilable judgments

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 8(1), Art. 71b(2) Brussels I bis; R.21.1 RoP
Zurückgewiesene Argumente
Was das Gericht nicht akzeptiert hat — und warum.
  • Article 8(1) Brussels I bis can confer jurisdiction on the UPC over Defendant 7 (BYD UK) for acts committed exclusively in the UK, given the close connection with claims against other defendants

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 8(1), Art. 71b(2) Brussels I bis
  • A preliminary ruling referral to the CJEU is necessary on the interpretation of Art. 8(1) and Art. 71b(2) Brussels I bis regarding third-country defendants and irreconcilable judgments

    BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 267 TFEU
  • An oral hearing should be held before ruling on the preliminary objection

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R.20.1 RoP
