Summary: Request by defendant Hefei Xinhu Canned Motor Pump Co., Ltd. for permission to file an additional pleading (R. 36 RoP) in infringement proceedings Grundfos Holding A/S v. Hefei Xinhu (Düsseldorf Local Division, EP 2 778 423) was rejected. The request was filed more than six weeks after the Chinese Patent Office invalidated the counterpart Chinese patent, and the defendant failed to explain the delay. Filing shortly before the scheduled oral hearing (27 March 2025) would have unduly disadvantaged the claimant and the court.
