Summary: Munich Local Division procedural order (judge-rapporteur Dr. Zigann) granting Meril's application to extend the deadline for commenting on Edwards Lifesciences Corporation's costs application (App_66577/2024) until after the judge-rapporteur decides on Edwards's confidentiality application (App_66581/2024). The extension was granted under R. 9.3(a) RoP given the exceptional circumstances: Meril cannot properly assess the redacted cost application until confidentiality is resolved. This follows the final merits decision of 15 November 2024 in the main Edwards v. Meril infringement case (UPC_CFI_15/2023).
