    Infringement Action

    Procedural order (interim conference summary) of Milan Local Division in Oerlikon Textile v Himson Engineering (EP 2 145 848). The order summarises the procedural history (evidence preservation order, infringement and revocation counterclaim), the issues discussed at the interim conference (settlement proposals, claim construction, auxiliary requests) and confirms procedural arrangements for the oral hearing. Seven auxiliary requests remain before the court.

    Legal issues:Interim conference procedure under R. 105 RoPAuxiliary requests (patent amendment applications)Admissibility of revocation grounds
  • 2024-09-17
    Infringement Action

    The Milan Local Division refused Oerlikon's request to admit an eighth auxiliary request to amend EP 2 145 848 B1, finding that AR8 did not constitute an effective response to the new prior art relied upon and that it introduced an inadmissible intermediate generalisation contrary to Art. 84 EPC.

    Legal issues:admissibility of subsequent auxiliary request R.30.2 RoPintermediate generalisation Art. 123(2) EPCclarity Art. 84 EPC

    Generic Order

    Procedural order of the Milan Local Division (in Italian) in Oerlikon Textile v Himson Engineering (EP 2 145 848) granting Oerlikon's application for a confidentiality order under R. 262A RoP over financial information provided in reply to a R. 158 RoP request. The court constituted a confidentiality club comprising only legal representatives of Himson (not the party itself), consistent with the financial sensitivity of the documents.

    Legal issues:Confidentiality order under R. 262A RoPConfidentiality club – access restricted to lawyers only, excluding party itselfWithdrawal of document from the file as alternative
  • 2023-09-27
    Infringement Action

    The Milan Local Division rejected a Rule 262.1(b) request for case file access filed by a lawyer claiming to represent Himson Engineering, holding that a lawyer who is party-affiliated (even without formal appearance) is not a 'third party' within the meaning of Rule 262.1(b) and cannot access the file before service is complete.

    Legal issues:Rule 262.1(b) RoP access requestThird-party status for file accessPre-service access
  • 2023-07-21
    Infringement Action

    Legal issues:Service without exhibitsProcedural efficiency
