The Munich Local Division partially dismissed preliminary objections filed by Volkswagen, Audi, and Texas Instruments in infringement proceedings by Network System Technologies LLC concerning EP1552669, rejecting challenges to standing, admissibility of pre-2022 damages, and the sufficiency of the infringement read, while deferring jurisdiction objections relating to UK-territory claims to a later stage.
