KG v. CUPOWER entities.

The defendants' counterclaim for revocation was also dismissed (patent maintained).

However, when a claimant requests security from the defendant, the court must take into account that the claimant made a voluntary decision to litigate, which bears on the weighing of interests. The court must ensure the defendant's right to a fair trial is not compromised. |

The court addressed claim interpretation, imminent infringement, non-applicability of stay of proceedings (R. 295 RoP) to PI proceedings, and the costs gap in the absence of main proceedings. |

The defendants' preliminary objection was also ruled out of time due to a failure to deliver the objection papers to the Sub-Registry during its opening hours. |
