Order of the Court of Appeal (single judge) on an application by Meril GmbH and Meril Life Sciences for suspensive effect of their appeal against the Munich Local Division's costs order in the Edwards Lifesciences provisional measures proceedings (EP 3 763 331, crimping device for heart valve prostheses). After Meril submitted a cease-and-desist undertaking accepted by Edwards, the provisional measures action became devoid of purpose. The first-instance court ordered Meril to bear costs up to EUR 200,000 and set the value at EUR 1,500,000. Meril sought suspensive effect of the costs portion of the appeal.

Signed version of the order of the Court of Appeal (single judge) on Meril's application for suspensive effect in the Meril v. Edwards Lifesciences appeal (EP 3 763 331, crimping device). This appears to be an earlier or signed copy of the same order as the previous file (Anordung aufschiebende Wirkung Meril-Edwards EN.pdf), issued on 18 January 2024 and concerning the same application for suspensive effect of Meril's appeal against the first-instance costs order.
