    Summary: Final order of Hamburg Local Division in Visibly Inc. v Easee B.V. / Easee Holding B.V. / Yves Prevoo (EP 3 918 974) ordering the defendants (as counterclaimants for revocation) to provide joint security of EUR 75,000 for the claimant's legal costs, pursuant to Art. 69(4) UPCA and R. 158 RoP. The court held that Art. 69(4) UPCA does not oblige the defendant to provide security in the infringement action, but a claimant may request security from a defendant acting as counterclaimant in revocation proceedings.
