Decisions
  • 2025-03-03

    Summary: The Central Division Paris ordered claimant Suinno Mobile & AI Technologies Licensing Oy to appoint a new patent-qualified representative to replace its existing representative who lacked the requisite independence required under UPC rules. The court granted a period for compliance and required ratification of prior acts. The defendant's request to reject the infringement action as manifestly inadmissible was deferred pending the claimant's compliance.

    Show the legal issues (4)
    • Validity of representation by corporate representative lacking independence
    • Requirement for qualified patent representative under Art. 48 UPCA
    • Ratification of acts by invalid representative
    • Inadmissibility under Rule 361 RoP
