- 2025-08-01Application For CostsPublic
Summary: Decision of Hamburg Local Division in Samsung Bioepis NL B.V. v Alexion Pharmaceuticals (EP 3 167 888) assessing the costs of appeal proceedings following the Court of Appeal's rejection (20 December 2024) of Alexion's appeal against the dismissal of its application for provisional measures against Samsung Bioepis' Epysqli biosimilar. The court allowed the costs for UPC representatives and patent attorneys but reduced costs claimed for UK solicitors whose involvement (at higher cost than the actual UPC representatives) was not demonstrated to be necessary.
