Summary: The Hague Local Division order on service and deadline harmonisation in parallel infringement actions by Moderna, Inc. and Moderna TX, Inc. against multiple Moderna group entities. The court declined to extend individual defendants' SoD deadlines and declined to accept informal service on U.S. entities via headquarters. Because all defendants are in the same corporate group and were found to be already aware of the statements of claim, one unified SoD deadline was set to streamline proceedings. The court inferred that attempts to avoid service at US headquarters were an attempt to delay.
