The Court of Appeal (duty judge) dismissed the appellants' request for discretionary review under R. 220.3 RoP. The underlying legal question regarding the UPC's lack of jurisdiction over alleged infringements in non-UPC member states had already been definitively resolved by the Court of Appeal's order of 13 March 2026, rendering the appellants' request moot.

The Court of Appeal dismissed the Appellants' request for discretionary review under R. 220.3 RoP.

The request for discretionary review is admissible because the first-instance division did not explicitly grant leave to appeal — its reference to R. 220.2 RoP was merely a standard informational formula, not an express authorisation
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: R. 220.3 RoP; UPC_CoA_586/2024; UPC_CoA_1/2024; UPC_CoA_328/2024; UPC_CoA_930/2025; UPC_CoA_1/2026The underlying legal question regarding lack of UPC jurisdiction over infringement in non-UPC member states was definitively resolved by the Court of Appeal's order of 13 March 2026 in UPC_CoA_922-925/2025, rendering the present request without object
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 7(2) Regulation 1215/2012; Art. 75(2) UPCA
The questions raised are of general importance and have not yet been decided by the Court of Appeal, warranting discretionary review to ensure uniform application of R. 334(h) RoP
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 220.3 RoP; R. 334(h) RoPThere is a persisting legitimate interest in the Court of Appeal ruling on summary dismissal of claims under R. 334(h) and R. 361 RoP because the claims for non-UPC territories were not formally rejected by the earlier Court of Appeal order
