Language: —

The Hamburg Local Division dismissed Fives ECL's action for determination of damages based on a prior national court judgment (Landgericht Düsseldorf), holding that the UPC lacks jurisdiction under Article 32 UPCA to assess damages that were not preceded by a UPC infringement action; a national patent enforcement judgment cannot found UPC damages jurisdiction.
