Order of the Milan Local Division dismissing a preliminary objection (Rule 19 RoP) filed by Alpinestars S.p.A. challenging the jurisdiction of the Milan Local Division over infringement of EP 4 072 364 validated in Spain. The Court held that, following the CJEU judgment in C-339/22, the UPC as court of the defendant's domicile has universal jurisdiction over infringement of European patents including those validated in non-UPC countries such as Spain.
