  Application RoP 223Öffentlich

  Zusammenfassung: The Court of Appeal (judge-rapporteur Emmanuel Gougé) rejected Bhagat Textile Engineers' application for suspensive effect (R. 223 RoP) of the Milan Local Division's infringement judgment of 4 November 2024 concerning EP 2 145 848. The Milan LD had found Bhagat liable for infringement, issued an injunction for Italy and Germany, imposed a penalty payment of EUR 12,000, and ordered provisional damages of EUR 15,000. Bhagat failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances justifying suspensive effect, having only vaguely claimed parallel invalidity proceedings and 'considerable doubts' about validity without substantiation.
