Lisbon Local Division order on Ericsson's compliance with R. 13.1(h) RoP disclosure obligations regarding prior/pending proceedings relating to the patent. AsusTeK and co-defendants had challenged Ericsson's compliance in their opposition. The court addressed whether Ericsson must provide copies of prior art relied on, pleadings, statements of case and expert reports from other national and UPC proceedings relating to EP 2 819 131. The order resolves this disclosure dispute in a preliminary injunction action against AsusTeK for infringement of a 4G/LTE patent.
