Appeal decisionGeneric application
Court of Appeal (judge-rapporteur Emmanuel Gougé) granted OTEC Präzisionsfinish GmbH's application for leave to file a further written pleading under R. 36 RoP in the appeal proceedings concerning a preliminary injunction granted by the Hamburg Local Division (16 June 2025) to STEROS GPA Innovative S.L. for infringement of EP 4 249 647. STEROS had introduced new experimental evidence in its Statement of Response; OTEC was granted two weeks to respond specifically to the experiments (Exhibits GRU 15–17) and related paragraphs of the Response. The Court found the exceptional circumstances required by R. 36 RoP were met given the new evidence.
