Summary: Paris Central Division procedural order (judge-rapporteur Haedicke) in a revocation action by CEAD B.V. and CEAD USA B.V. against BEGO Medical GmbH concerning EP 2 681 034 B1, addressing a request by CEAD (as claimant in the Dutch-language revocation proceedings) for simultaneous interpretation into Dutch (alternatively English) at the interim hearing (29 May 2024) and oral hearing (23 August 2024). The court rejected the request for simultaneous interpretation under R. 109 VerfO, holding that the right to be heard is sufficiently protected where the party's authorised representative is fluent in the language of the proceedings (German). Simultaneous interpretation at the parties' own cost, however, was permitted.
