    The Milan Local Division found Tianjin Kingtyre Group Co., Ltd. liable for literal infringement of EP 2519412 (motorcycle tyres) by offering and promoting tyre models K902 and GRADE W at the EICMA fair and on its website. A default judgment (decisione by default) was issued because the defendant failed to appear after proper service of process. An injunction was granted prohibiting further infringement in all UPCA Contracting Member States where the patent is in force, with periodic penalties; requests for product withdrawal/destruction and disclosure of distribution information were denied as disproportionate given no proven actual sales.

Angenommene Argumente
Was das Gericht akzeptiert hat — nach Partei.
  • Service of process on Chinese defendant was validly effected via the Hague Convention of 15.11.1965 and the ILCC portal on 2 July 2025, satisfying R. 277 RoP

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 5(a) Hague Convention; R. 277 RoP
  • Defendant's failure to file a defence within three months of service justifies a default judgment

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 355.1(a) and 355.3 RoP; Art. 37 UPCA
  • Tyre models K902 and GRADE W literally reproduce all features of independent product claim 3 of EP 2519412

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 25.1(a) UPCA; Art. 64.2(a) UPCA
  • K902 and GRADE W also infringe method claim 1 because they embody the same structural features 1A and 1B, and the Art. 55(2) UPCA presumption applies given defendant's failure to appear

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 55(2) UPCA
  • An injunction covering all UPCA member states where EP 2519412 is in force is proportionate given the severity of infringement (internet promotion and presentation at EICMA international trade fair)

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Arts. 25, 63 UPCA; R. 355.4 RoP
  • Publication of the decision on defendant's website is warranted given the severity of the infringement

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 80 UPCA
Zurückgewiesene Argumente
Was das Gericht nicht akzeptiert hat — und warum.
  • Order for withdrawal of infringing products from commercial channels and their destruction

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Arts. 64.2 UPCA; R. 355 RoP — denied as disproportionate given no proof of actual sales
  • Order for disclosure of information on distribution channels, quantities, prices, and identity of third parties

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 67 UPCA; R. 191 RoP — denied as disproportionate
  • Interim award of damages of at least EUR 100,000 under R. 119 RoP

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 119 RoP — denied for lack of sufficient evidence of actual damage at this stage
