  InfringementPublic

  Summary: The Munich Local Division rejected the defendants' objection and dismissed the infringement action concerning EP 3 030 943. Because the panel found no infringement, the condition on which the defendants had made their revocation counterclaim (UPC_CFI_1309/2025) depend was not fulfilled, so no decision was taken on validity. Costs of the whole proceedings are borne 40% by the claimant and 60% by the defendants.
