Generic application
Düsseldorf Local Division granted FUJIFILM's request for an extension of the time period for filing its Reply to the Statement of Defence (including counterclaims for revocation) until 28 May 2024. The extension was justified because a confidentiality order under Rule 262A RoP had initially restricted FUJIFILM's employees from accessing the defendants' submissions, and the full two-month period for the reply must be available after employee access is granted.
Legal issues:Extension of time periods under Rule 9.3(a) RoPConfidentiality orders under Rule 262A RoP and impact on reply deadlinesRight to be heard in context of restricted document access
