Procedural order by the Court of Appeal (UPC_CoA_581/2025, 10 July 2025) dismissing OTEC's application for suspensive effect of its appeal against a preliminary injunction granted by Hamburg Local Division on 16 June 2025 for EP 4 249 647. The Hamburg LD found infringement more likely than not and ordered OTEC to cease and desist across 18 UPC member states. The CoA held OTEC failed to demonstrate the exceptional circumstances or manifest errors required to suspend the injunction pending appeal.
