Generic application
The Düsseldorf Local Division issued an order dealing with Siemens's request for security for costs against Hologic (claimant, domiciled in the US) in the infringement and revocation proceedings concerning EP 2 352 431. The court addressed the burden of proof on the requesting party to show that enforcement would be unduly burdensome, requiring evidence of both applicable foreign law and its practical application.
