The Düsseldorf Local Division granted Aesculap AG a preliminary injunction against Shanghai International Holding Corporation GmbH (Europe) based on EP 2 892 442 B1 (surgical instrument), with the court proceeding on the merits despite the defendant's non-appearance at the oral hearing; the defendant's general denial without substantive engagement was deemed inadequate.
