    Summary: The Hague Local Division judge-rapporteur granted the defendants an extension of the deadline for their statements of defence to six weeks after CJ files its test results on the seized samples, rather than the November 2026 date and stay they had requested. The order notes the court-appointed expert found no evidence of infringement in the preserved samples, allows defendants to file counter-testing results without delay, raises a possible two-step process for access to the seized technical documentation, and asks the parties for August availabilities for a case management hearing.
