Summary: President of the Court of First Instance granted HMD Global Oy's application to change the language of proceedings from German to English in infringement proceedings brought by Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft at the Hamburg Local Division concerning EP 2 609 590. The change was granted under Art. 49(5) UPCA on grounds of fairness: English is the dominant language in audio processing technology, HMD is a Finnish company that would face disproportionate burden litigating in German, and the Claimant as a German research institute regularly uses English. No special translation/interpretation arrangements were required.
