Summary: Munich Local Division order (judge-rapporteur Schnurr, issued 6 Aug 2026; English version published 16 Sep 2026) in Avago Technologies International Sales Pte. Limited v Hyundai Motor Deutschland GmbH and six Hyundai entities (EP 3 651 429, vehicle communication network): because the EPO Opposition Division revoked the patent on 9 Jul 2026 and the accelerated appeal is expected by summer 2027, the infringement action UPC_CFI_52/2026 and the counterclaim for revocation UPC_CFI_2285/2026 are stayed under Art. 33(10) UPCA and R. 295(a), 298 RoP pending the final EPO decision; the Board of Appeal is asked to keep the division informed.
