Summary: Order of the Paris Central Division (full panel) on Microsoft Corporation's application for security for legal costs against Suinno Mobile & AI Technologies Licensing Oy (a Finnish NPE). The court addressed the standard for ordering security: the financial position of the respondent must give rise to a legitimate and real concern that a costs order may not be recoverable or enforceable. The court found Microsoft established the highest possible insolvency risk, as Suinno lacked substantial assets. The court ordered Suinno to provide adequate security for costs in the infringement action (UPC_CFI_164/2024). The respondent's reciprocal request was rejected.
