Summary: Procedural order from the Munich Local Division (UPC_CFI_254/2024) dismissing Roku's preliminary objection under R. 19.1(a) RoP against Sun Patent Trust's infringement action concerning EP 2 903 267. The Court ruled that: (1) alleged incompatibility of the UPCA with EU primary law is not a valid ground for preliminary objection; (2) a preliminary objection cannot be based on a violation of Art. 47(2) EU Charter or Art. 6 ECHR; (3) proof of the representative's authority for the opt-out withdrawal need not be included with the statement of claim unless challenged; and (4) for jurisdiction, only a plausible allegation of infringement is required.
