Both parties confirmed they had no objection to the rectification.

    Summary: The Milan Local Division judge-rapporteur recorded the decisions taken at the interim conference of 9 July 2026 under R. 105.5 RoP: settlement was explored without success, the claimant's feature breakdown of claim 1 is adopted, the claimant's request for a further exchange of pleadings under R. 36 RoP on infringement by equivalence is dismissed because nothing prevented full argument during the written procedure, and a further exchange was ordered on the substantive law applicable to the alleged acts of infringement with deadlines of 31 July and 21 August 2026. The value of the infringement action was set at EUR 1,250,000 and of the counterclaim for revocation at EUR 1,850,000, and the oral hearing was confirmed for 20 October 2026 with validity and infringement taken together.
