Summary: Paris Central Division order rejecting Mala Technologies' preliminary objection to the jurisdiction of the UPC over Nokia's revocation action (ACT_595045/2023) concerning EP 2 044 709. Mala Technologies (defendant/patent proprietor) had argued the UPC lacked jurisdiction and sought a stay pending a German Federal Court of Justice decision (X ZR 6/24) in parallel revocation appeal proceedings. All requests were rejected: the preliminary objection was dismissed, the stay applications were denied, and the request to extend the deadline for the defence to revocation was also rejected. Leave to appeal was granted given the fundamental issues about the relationship between UPC proceedings and national courts.
