    Summary: The judge-rapporteur granted Edwards Lifesciences a limited two-day extension to file its reply to Meril's defence, setting the new deadline as 1 July 2026. The court rejected the longer extension Edwards sought, finding that its UPC representative should have inquired with the sub-registry about the change in confidentiality status by 17 June 2026 at the latest.
