UPC CoA 900/2025

The appellants (Lepu Medical entities) withdrew their appeal against the Hamburg Local Division order that had granted a preliminary cease-and-desist injunction to Occlutech GmbH based on EP 2 387 951. The Court of Appeal permitted the withdrawal, declared the proceedings closed, and ordered the appellants to jointly bear Occlutech's costs of the appeal proceedings.

Court of Appeal (judge-rapporteur) rejected Lepu Medical's application for suspensive effect of its appeal against a preliminary injunction granted by the Hamburg Local Division in favour of Occlutech. The CoA held that Lepu failed to demonstrate that the impugned order contained manifest errors or that the appeal would become devoid of purpose without suspensive effect. Lepu's claim that enforcing the injunction would damage its reputation was insufficient to outweigh Occlutech's interest in preventing imminent patent infringement.
