    Summary: Brussels Local Division (20 February 2025) ruled on HYLER BV's contested addition of new non-infringement arguments and a new document in its rejoinder. The panel rejected the primary request, upheld the alternative request in part, and excluded certain paragraphs of HYLER's rejoinder (paragraphs 506–510) from consideration, finding they introduced new arguments not justified by Cretes' reply submissions. The request for an extra week to respond was also rendered moot.
