The judge-rapporteur issued an interim conference order setting out procedural directions for the revocation action concerning EP 3 414 708, including discussion of the validity of the priority claim and allowable form of amendments; no substantive ruling on patentability was made.

The Paris Central Division rejected Carrier Corporation's application to stay the revocation proceedings against EP3414708 pending EPO opposition proceedings, finding that the requirement of a 'rapid decision' from the EPO was not fulfilled because no concrete timeline for the EPO ruling had been established.
