    Summary: The Düsseldorf Local Division (Panel 2) rejected Hologic's R. 36 RoP request to submit brief further comments (approx. 5 pages) on Siemens's 3 March 2026 submissions concerning the application to amend the patent, holding the reasons given were too vague (no new facts specified) to justify further pleadings, and finding the claimant's right to be heard was not unduly restricted since it could still oppose the submissions and respond at the oral hearing.
