Summary: The Mannheim Local Division issued a procedural order separating the infringement proceedings against Xiaomi defendants 1, 2, 7 and 8 (Chinese/HK entities to whom the statement of claim had not yet been served) from the proceedings against the other defendants (3–6, 9, 10) in Panasonic v Xiaomi (UPC_CFI_218/2023, EP 3 096 315). The separation under R. 303.2 RoP was ordered because the European defendants' representatives had not been mandated by the Chinese/HK defendants, and no service authorisation for the Chinese entities via the European affiliates existed.
