Summary: Mannheim Local Division order dismissing the defendants' preliminary objection of 24 July 2026 as inadmissible. The objection contended only that Art. 72 UPCA limits the temporal scope of certain remedies; since it raised none of the grounds exhaustively listed in R.19.1(a)-(c) RoP (jurisdiction and competence, competence of the division, language of the statement of claim), the requirements of R.19.1 RoP were not met. The main infringement action is unaffected. [operative 'ORDER', page 4]
