Summary: Procedural order from Munich Local Division Panel 1 (Heraeus Electronics/Precious Metals v. Vibrantz GmbH, EP 3 215 288) on a time-period extension request by claimant Heraeus. The court corrected the start date of Heraeus's reply deadline to 18 March 2025 (the date the UPC representative was granted access to unredacted documents) rather than 17 March. The extension request citing confidentiality-club members' vacation was rejected: it is the free decision of members to be absent, and this cannot affect procedural deadlines. Vibrantz's request for clarification of its own deadline was addressed.
