Summary: The Milan Local Division rejected PR Medical's preliminary objection seeking to change the language of proceedings from English to Italian under Rule 14.2(b) RoP, finding the exception's second cumulative condition unmet because KeyMed had sufficiently alleged infringement in Contracting Member States other than Italy (Germany, and via the defendant's website across all Contracting States). Costs of the proceedings are to be dealt with in the main proceedings.
