| 2025-12-17 | UPC_CFI_1262/2025 | The Hague LD | Application RoP262.1 (b) | Prozessual | Abgewiesen | The Hague Local Division refused an anonymous applicant's request to access the case file of UPC_CFI_830/2025 (an application for provisional measures by Abbott Diabetes Care against MicroTech Medical and others relating to EP 3 960 072, a diabetes monitoring device). The applicant claimed to represent a competitor conducting a freedom-to-operate analysis for a CGM product. The Court found the applicant's specific interest insufficiently established: the identity of the unnamed 'client' could not be verified, and the urgency of access before the proceedings concluded was not justified, particularly given the proceedings were expected to conclude within weeks. |
| 2025-12-17 | UPC_CoA_926/2025 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.2 | motionName.appeal_decision | Nur prozessual | Procedural order of the Court of Appeal (Panel 1a) in the register-access appeal proceedings (Huawei v. TP-Link regarding access to UPC proceedings documents) on TP-Link's application for suspensive effect of the appeal under Rule 220.2 RoP, filed on 17 December 2025. The order addressed whether the Munich Local Division's orders of 28 November 2025 restricting register access should be stayed pending the appeal. This is a precursor procedural step to the substantive decision on register access issued on 17 February 2026. |
| 2025-12-12 | UPC_CFI_766/2025 | Milan LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Milan Local Division ordered alternative service on Shenzhen Asmax Infinite Technology Co. under the Hague Service Convention after two failed service attempts (rejected by Chinese authorities due to incorrect reference to Hong Kong), applying Art. 15(2) of the Convention. |
| 2025-12-12 | UPC_CFI_525/2025 | Munich LD | Generic Order | Kosten | Nur prozessual | Order of the Munich Local Division granting a security for costs application (Rule 158 RoP) filed by OPPO, OnePlus, Realme and other defendants against ASUS Technology Licensing Inc. (a claimant incorporated in Taiwan) in an infringement action. The Court found that enforcing a cost decision in Taiwan would be at least unduly burdensome given the absence of international agreements or national Taiwanese laws guaranteeing enforcement of foreign judgments, and ordered security in connection with the infringement action (but not the as-yet unfiled counterclaim for revocation). |
| 2025-12-12 | UPC_CFI_146/2024 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Munich Local Division issued a rectification order under Rule 353 RoP correcting factual errors in a prior decision in the Sanofi v. Stada/Dr Reddy/Zentiva proceedings, including corrections regarding marketing authorisation holders and expert witness attribution. |

The Court held that ALD France S.A.S. and the ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH (party in the Munich Local Division proceedings) are not the same party, so the revocation action before the Central Division is not inadmissible on grounds of party identity. |
| 2025-12-09 | UPC_CFI_432/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Application Rop 265 | Prozessual | Zurückgenommen | The Düsseldorf Local Division permitted Headwater Research's withdrawal of its patent infringement action against Apple entities and the corresponding withdrawal of Apple's counterclaim for revocation of EP 3 107 243, with no costs order by agreement of the parties. |

The CoA confirmed Bhagat's negligent infringement, rejected Oerlikon's reputational damage claims, and upheld the 80/20 cost split from the first-instance proceedings. |

The CoA confirmed that Bhagat was at least negligent (Art. 68(1) UPCA) having exhibited the infringing product at ITMA 2023 without checking the patent landscape. Oerlikon's claims for moral/reputational prejudice were rejected as insufficiently substantiated. The CoA upheld the CFI's cost allocation (Bhagat to bear 80% of first-instance costs). The CoA determined the damages quantum. |
| 2025-12-09 | UPC_CFI_499/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Hague Local Division issued a procedural order addressing the defendant's attempt to set aside the default judgment, ruling that the defendant had been sufficiently warned of the default consequence and that the prior R. 275 and R. 320 orders preclude a fresh challenge under R. 356 RoP. |
| 2025-12-05 | UPC_CFI_775/2025 | Nordic-Baltic RD | Application RoP262A | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Nordic-Baltic Regional Division stayed the cost proceedings between Edwards Lifesciences and Meril pending the outcome of EPO Board of Appeal opposition proceedings against EP 3 769 722, and provisionally ordered confidentiality obligations by mutual agreement of the parties. |

AGA/ACEF chemical patent case, holding that the claimant had fulfilled its duty of disclosure and that sufficient prima facie evidence of infringement was presented to justify the order. |
| 2025-12-05 | UPC_CFI_492/2024 | Copenhagen LD | Application for preserving evidence pursuant to RoP192 | Beweis | outcomeName.other | The Copenhagen Local Division (in Danish) imposed penalty payments of EUR 67,500 on HGSystem ApS and associated entities for delayed compliance with a preservation of evidence order in proceedings concerning EP 4 238 202 B1. The defendants had failed to provide access codes and login information for financial systems, email accounts, and a seized computer for 36 days. The Court found penalties of EUR 5,000 per day appropriate for the first 18-day period and EUR 2,500 per day for the subsequent 18 days, acknowledging that penalties also serve a punitive function even where the obligation has since been fulfilled. Costs deferred to the main proceedings. |
| 2025-12-05 | UPC_CFI_414/2024 | Mannheim LD | Infringement Action | Verletzung (Hauptsache) | Nicht verletzt | Decision of the Mannheim Local Division dated 5 December 2025 dismissing Centripetal Limited's infringement action against Keysight Technologies entities for infringement of EP 3 821 580 (methods and systems for network protection). Centripetal alleged direct infringement of claim 16 and indirect infringement of claim 1 in Germany, Italy, France and the Netherlands. The panel found that the defendants' products (AppStack, SecureStack-SSL, Threat Simulator) did not read on the claims as construed: defendants denied in the oral hearing that the source code contained functionality for threat-metadata-based routing to a CAS (a claim requirement), and Centripetal failed to substantiate its contrary position with sufficient evidence or proof under R. 171 RoP. The conditional counterclaim for revocation was not decided as the condition (infringement finding) was not met. Centripetal was ordered to bear all costs of the infringement proceedings. |
| 2025-12-05 | UPC_CFI_414/2024 | Mannheim LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | Procedural order from the Mannheim Local Division dated 5 December 2025 rejecting Centripetal Limited's request to reopen the oral hearing and appoint an expert to review the source code of Keysight's products, filed on 24 November 2025 after the closure of the hearing. The court held that R. 114 RoP permits reopening only in exceptional cases identified during the oral hearing itself (e.g. for necessary additional testimony or experimental evidence emerging from the hearing) and is not available as a tool to introduce new infringement allegations after closure. Claimant's argument that defendants' counsel had made false statements about source code functionality was not sufficient to trigger R. 114 RoP. The request was rejected. |

| 2025-12-02 | UPC_CoA_894/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application Rop 223 | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | Order of the Court of Appeal single judge on Windhager Handelsgesellschaft's application for suspensive effect (Rule 223 RoP) of its appeal against the Mannheim Local Division judgment largely upholding bellissa HAAS GmbH's infringement action for EP 2 223 589 and rejecting Windhager's revocation counterclaim. Windhager alleged obvious errors in the first-instance assessment of direct infringement and the rejection of the revocation counterclaim. The order addressed the admissibility of the application (corrected after formality defects) and the substantive criteria for granting suspensive effect. |
| 2025-12-01 | UPC_CoA_838/2025 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Abgewiesen | The Court of Appeal dismissed Innovative Sonic's appeal against the refusal to change the language of proceedings back to German in the Munich Local Division infringement action against OPPO et al. The court held that the language of the parties (different from German) and the language qualifications of representatives were not sufficiently weighty to justify a second language change, and that English was already in use. |
| 2025-12-01 | UPC_CFI_337/2025 | Munich CD | Revocation Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Central Division (Section Munich) judge-rapporteur issued a Rule 105.5 interim conference order in the revocation action concerning EP 3 296 274, setting procedural timetable, case valuation, and directions for further submissions including responses to an expert opinion. |
| 2025-11-28 | UPC_CoA_376/2025 | Court of Appeal | Appeal 237 | motionName.appeal_decision | PI abgelehnt | The Court of Appeal set aside paragraph 3 of the Brussels Local Division's order of 21 March 2025, which had denied Barco's application for provisional measures against Yealink. The appeal concerned the competence of the Brussels Local Division and the proper handling of an application for provisional measures, including referral to the competent division (R. 19.5 RoP applied mutatis mutandis). The Court also addressed interim cost awards in provisional measures proceedings: Barco, as the unsuccessful applicant for provisional measures at first instance, was ordered to bear Yealink's costs. An interim costs award up to half the applicable ceiling was granted to Yealink on appeal. |
| 2025-11-28 | UPC_CFI_619/2025 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Hague Local Division issued a procedural order under R. 302 RoP addressing a procedural step in proceedings before the court. |

| 2025-11-27 | UPC_CoA_904/2025 | Court of Appeal | Generic Order | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Court of Appeal (Panel 1a: Grabinski, Gougé, Blok) rejected VIVO's request for stay of the first-instance proceedings (UPC_CFI_362/2025 and UPC_CFI_361/2025) pending the appeal on the preliminary objection (R. 21.2 RoP) concerning EP 3 407 524 and EP 3 852 468. The court found no exceptional circumstances justifying a stay: the unresolved jurisdictional question did not constitute exceptional circumstances, and the costs of preparing VIVO's defence were insufficient. Sun Patent's interest in obtaining a timely decision outweighed VIVO's interest in avoiding preparation costs. |
| 2025-11-27 | UPC_CFI_936/2025 | Mannheim LD | Request Rop115 | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Mannheim Local Division denied Amazon's request for a full transcript of an audio recording of the oral hearing in InterDigital v.

| 2025-11-27 | UPC_CFI_530/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | Paris Local Division rejected all preliminary objections raised by the defendants (Adobe, OpenAI, Truepic, JDF Projects and C2PA) in KEEEX's infringement action. The court upheld the jurisdiction of the UPC and the internal competence of the Paris Local Division under Art.33.1(a) UPCA, finding that infringing acts alleged in France established competence. Defendants were ordered to file their statements of defence by 2 January 2026. Costs deferred to the merits decision. |
| 2025-11-27 | UPC_CoA_70/2025 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Zurückgenommen | Court of Appeal accepted withdrawal of STRABAG's appeal (UPC_CoA_70/2025) following an out-of-court settlement between STRABAG and SWARCO. The intervenor Chainzone's separate appeal (PC_CoA_001/2025) was declared moot under R.360 RoP, as an intervenor cannot continue an appeal that the supported party has withdrawn. Chainzone bears its own costs. |
| 2025-11-27 | UPC_CFI_613/2024 | Milan CD | Revocation Action | Nichtigkeit (Hauptsache) | Patent aufrechterhalten | The Milan Central Division dismissed Pari Pharma's revocation action against Philips' nebulizer patent EP 3 397 329 (unitary effect), upholding the patent after finding the prior art combinations relied upon by the claimant do not render the invention obvious to the skilled person. |
| 2025-11-27 | UPC_CFI_613/2024 | Milan CD | Revocation Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | The Milan Central Division (full panel: Postiglione, Klein, Callewaert) rectified an obvious slip in its final decision of 27 November 2025 in the revocation action brought by Pari Pharma GmbH against Koninklijke Philips N.V. concerning EP 3 397 329. The decision had incorrectly stated that the patent is registered with unitary effect; this sentence was deleted. The parties did not object. |

| 2025-11-26 | UPC_CFI_806/2025 | Brussels LD | Infringement Action | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | Brussels Local Division procedural order (R. 19 RoP, second order) in Barco v. Yealink infringement proceedings. Yealink raised a preliminary objection to territorial competence of the Brussels Local Division under Art. 33(1)(a) UPCA. The Court had already held it had territorial competence in related PI proceedings (UPC_CFI_582/2024). Order sets out how the preliminary objection will be handled in the main infringement proceedings. |

| 2025-11-25 | UPC_CoA_529/2024 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Nichtig erklärt | The Court of Appeal decided appeals in a revocation action and a counterclaim for revocation concerning PCSK9 antibody patents. Based on the reasoning visible in the excerpt, the Court found that the patent lacked inventive step because the skilled person at the priority date could not reasonably predict whether an antibody targeting secreted PCSK9 would result in a therapeutically effective treatment for hypercholesterolaemia; the prior art (Lagace, Horton, Cunningham) contained only conditional suggestions. The appeals concerned claim interpretation, added matter, sufficiency, and inventive step in the context of medical use-format claims. The operative decision is not fully visible in the excerpt but the substantive reasoning strongly indicates revocation. |
| 2025-11-25 | UPC_CoA_464/2024 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Patent aufrechterhalten | The Court of Appeal dismissed the Meril companies' appeals against the revocation and counterclaim revocation decisions and Edwards' appeal against the infringement decision, upholding the patent EP 3 646 825 (heart valve). Key rulings: (I–VIII) All revocation and counterclaim appeals rejected; Meril bears 60% of Edwards' costs in the revocation proceedings and Edwards bears 40% of Meril's costs. (IX–X) The infringement decision was partially set aside: the injunction and preliminary damages order do not extend to XL devices (30.5mm and 32mm) that had not been scheduled for implantation in a patient by 15 November 2024. Preliminary damages reduced to not exceed €363,000 for Meril India and Meril Germany. The value of the proceedings is €8,000,000. |
