Summary: Munich Local Division procedural order (judge-rapporteur Dr. Zigann) in a separate costs/enforcement proceedings following the Edwards Lifesciences v. Meril infringement decision of 4 April 2025 (ORD_598588/2023, UPC_CFI_501/2023, concerning EP 3 669 828). Edwards notified the court of its intention to enforce parts of that decision (R. 118.8 RoP) and requested an authentic certified paper copy. The parties agreed Meril would not request a translation; the court ordered the Registry to issue an authentic paper copy to Edwards. The parties also agreed on extended timelines for Meril to comply with specific obligations.
