Summary: Munich Local Division procedural order in infringement proceedings concerning a patent for robot vacuum cleaners (EP 3 494 446) brought by Papst Licensing against Ecovacs entities. ECOVACS Europe GmbH (defendant 2) requested an extension of deadlines for preliminary objection (to 26 September 2025) and for statement of defence/revocation counterclaim (to 26 November 2025), on the condition that it would also accept service and act as representative for the other Ecovacs defendants not yet separately represented. This would create uniform deadline arrangements for all defendants.
