Zusammenfassung: The Court of Appeal reversed the Mannheim Local Division's infringement findings, holding that the attacked embodiment (NUC AUTO10 slow juicer) does not implement feature [1N] of claim 1 of EP 2 028 981 because its fixing elements do not prevent the housing from being vertically lifted from the drive unit, which the Court found to be required by the claim. As a result, none of the asserted claims (1-4, 6-9) are infringed by NUC or WARMCOOK, and HUROM's separate appeal seeking to extend jurisdiction over Turkey was also rejected.

Feature [1N] requires that the longitudinal fixation of the housing to the drive unit prevents vertical lifting of the housing, not merely lateral movement; the AUTO10's fixing elements (circumferential rim and protrusion) only prevent rotation and lateral movement but not vertical lifting
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 69 EPC; Protocol on Interpretation of Art. 69 EPC; EP 2 028 981 description paras 0024-0025, 0053, 0075-0076, 0081; Figures 1, 6, 7NUC Korea's mere access to the UPC Case Management System (logging on with the served access code) before filing any defence did not constitute 'entering an appearance' under Art. 26(1) Brussels Ia Regulation, so jurisdiction over Turkey was not established by tacit prorogation
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 26(1) Brussels Ia Regulation; CJEU judgment C-112/13 (A v B, 11 September 2014, para. 50, 54); CJEU judgment C-433/16 (BMW AG v Acacia, 13 July 2017, para. 34)
The Mannheim LD's claim construction that 'longitudinally fixed' in feature [1N] merely requires longitudinal (vertical) alignment and prevention of lateral/rotational movement, without requiring prevention of vertical lifting
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: Art. 69 EPC; impugned decision ORD_68865/2024 paras 73, 76, 85-86NUC Korea's act of logging onto the UPC Case Management System (via its UPC representative using the access code) constituted 'entering an appearance' under Art. 26(1) Brussels Ia Regulation, such that UPC jurisdiction over Turkey was established by tacit prorogation in the absence of a preliminary objection under R. 19 RoP
