Accepted arguments
What the court agreed with — by party.

  • Review of ex parte injunction must take into account all defences raised by the applicant for review, including arguments on non-infringement and patent invalidity, without limitation from an ex tunc perspective

    RespondentLegal basis: R. 212 and R. 197.3 RoP

  • Ex tunc perspective applies when assessing lack of urgency due to unreasonable delay; only circumstances arising prior to filing the application for provisional measures are relevant for that assessment

    RespondentLegal basis: R. 212 RoP

  • Security paid by Cardo should be partially released in favour of respondents for the amount corresponding to awarded legal costs (EUR 28,000)

    RespondentLegal basis: R. 211.5 RoP; R. 352.2 RoP

  • Seized goods must be returned to respondents following revocation of provisional measures

    RespondentLegal basis: R. 213.2 RoP
Rejected arguments

    RespondentLegal basis: R. 352.2 RoP

  • Execution of provisional measures was improper due to use of law enforcement officers
