The Munich Local Division issued an order on Promosome LLC v. BioNTech/Pfizer infringement proceedings (EP 2 401 365), addressing security for costs applications by both BioNTech/Pfizer groups. The court determined the appropriate amount of security, accepting the claimant's willingness to provide security by deposit. The court fixed the security amount based on the recoverable costs ceiling rather than the defendants' requested EUR 5,000,000.
