The President of the Court of First Instance issued an order under R. 323 RoP on an application to change the language of proceedings in an infringement action by InterDigital VC Holdings Inc. against The Walt Disney Company and related entities (UPC_CFI_87/2025). The order sets out key principles: all parties potentially affected must be heard; a change to the patent language under Art. 49(5) UPCA addresses situations where the initial choice is detrimental to a party; and the position of defendants is the decisive factor when the balance of interests is otherwise equal. The order does not finally resolve the application but establishes the procedural framework.
