  • 2024-10-31ACT_37931/2024PI grantedOrder from the Düsseldorf Local Division (UPC_CFI_347/2024) granting Valeo Electrification's application for provisional measures against Magna PT entities concerning EP 3 320 602 B1. The Court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the defendants from manufacturing, offering, marketing, using or importing the infringing automotive electrification products. Penalty payments of up to EUR 250,000 per violation were ordered. The injunction was conditional on Valeo providing security of EUR 2,500,000. The Court addressed issues of patent proprietorship (rebuttable presumption), urgency, and validity, finding the patent more likely than not valid.
