  AppealÖffentlich

  Zusammenfassung: The Court of Appeal dismissed Sidel's appeal against the Paris Central Division's rejection of its preliminary objection, holding that OMNIA's action concerns a declaration of non-infringement of the patents (EP 4 594 194, EP 4 624 351) within UPC competence under Art. 32(1)(b) UPCA even though filed before grant, that filing before grant is a question of admissibility for the further proceedings, and that the opt-outs filed after the action were ineffective under Art. 83(3) UPCA.
