The Mannheim Local Division confirmed the earlier imposition of penalties order of 20 January 2026 against Kodak GmbH and related entities for non-compliance with a final judgment requiring provision of financial and technical information to FUJIFILM Corporation (EP 3 511 174). The Court rejected Kodak's challenge and upheld the maximum daily penalty as justified given the extent and seriousness of the non-compliance. Leave to appeal was granted to develop UPC case law on enforcement measures.

Mannheim Local Division issued an enforcement order imposing penalty payments on Kodak entities for non-compliance with the obligation to destroy infringing embodiments under a prior decision.

The Mannheim Local Division found that Kodak GmbH, Kodak Graphic Communications GmbH, and Kodak Holding GmbH infringed EP 3 511 174 (relating to printing plate technology) owned by FUJIFILM. The defendants were ordered to cease infringement, provide information, destroy infringing products, recall products from commerce, and pay FUJIFILM EUR 300,000 as an interim award on legal costs. The counterclaim for revocation was dismissed. The value of the dispute was set at EUR 15,000,000.

Mannheim Local Division separated and ordered independent proceedings for claims and counterclaims relating to the UK national part of European patent EP 3 511 174, following the ECJ's judgment in C-339/22 (BSH Hausgeräte) regarding UPC's jurisdiction under Brussels Ia Regulation. The Court acted after awaiting the ECJ decision which was delivered after the oral hearing.

Plain-English summary
FUJIFILM brought infringement proceedings against three Kodak entities concerning EP 3 511 174 (planographic printing plate technology) before the Mannheim Local Division. The court found infringement, dismissed the revocation counterclaim, and ordered injunction, product destruction, recall, and EUR 300,000 interim costs. Subsequent enforcement proceedings were required when Kodak persistently failed to comply with the disclosure obligation, resulting in accumulated penalties of EUR 1,720,000 being confirmed in January 2026.
Accepted arguments
What the court agreed with — by party.
Infringement of EP 3 511 174 by Kodak's printing plate products in Germany
ClaimantLegal basis: Art. 25 UPCA; EP 3 511 174Note: The Mannheim Local Division found all three Kodak entities infringed the patent and ordered injunction, disclosure, destruction, recall, and EUR 300,000 interim costs.
UPC lacks jurisdiction over national patent parts that lapsed before 1 June 2023 and over non-UPCA-member states
RespondentLegal basis: Art. 3 UPCA; transitional provisionsNote: Court accepted this as a headnote principle limiting the scope of relief.
Prior use right defence must be pleaded in Statement of Defence and Counterclaim for Revocation and cannot be introduced later
ClaimantLegal basis: R. 24(g) RoP; R. 25(1)(b)(c) RoP; R. 29(c)(d) RoPNote: The court confirmed the front-loaded pleading requirement applies to prior use right facts.
Penalty enforcement: maximum daily penalty of EUR 10,000 (later EUR 25,000) justified for persistent non-compliance with information/disclosure obligations
ClaimantLegal basis: Art. 82 UPCA; enforcement provisionsNote: The January 2026 enforcement order confirmed accumulated penalties of EUR 1,720,000 based on ongoing non-compliance.
Rejected arguments
What the court did not agree with — and why.
Counterclaim for revocation of EP 3 511 174
RespondentLegal basis: Art. 65 UPCAReason: The court dismissed the revocation counterclaim without detailed reasoning visible in the excerpts; the patent was maintained as granted.
Private prior use right under German law (Art. 28 UPCA)
RespondentLegal basis: Art. 28 UPCA; German patent lawReason: Under German law applicable via Art. 28 UPCA, a firm and final decision to use the subject matter must have been taken before the priority date; the burden of proof lies on the defendant and Kodak failed to discharge it by documents or witnesses.
Penalties imposed were disproportionate given pending legal questions on UPC enforcement
RespondentLegal basis: Art. 82 UPCAReason: The court found deficiencies in compliance were evident and persistent; a prudent party advised by experienced counsel would have taken all steps to avoid doubt; penalties accumulating over time were a foreseeable result of Kodak's deliberate non-compliance.
Key legal principles
Doctrines and rules cited in the reasoning.
UPC has no jurisdiction over national patent parts that lapsed before 1 June 2023 or over non-UPCA member statesPrior use right (Art. 28 UPCA / German law) requires proof of firm decision to use before priority date; burden on defendantPrior use right facts must be presented in Statement of Defence / Counterclaim; subsequent briefs limited to responding to ReplyMaximum daily penalty is appropriate where non-compliance with information obligations is evident, persistent, and the result of deliberate choiceSetting of penalties is in the court's interest and not capped by claimant's request

Claim construction notes
The preparatory order (January 2025) raised extensive questions on claim construction, including: the meaning and measurement of micropore parameters in features 1.5 and 1.7' (standard deviation argument); whether EP 452 disclosures in examples vs. general description can be combined; interpretation of the ratio in feature 1.7'; scope of 'first configuration' and 'second configuration' in EP 452; and whether feature 1.9 relates to DOP processing. The final merits decision (April 2025) found infringement without detailed construction visible in the excerpt.
