    Summary: Order by Mannheim Local Division (UPC_CFI_750/2024, 4 April 2025) dismissing Samsung's preliminary objection. Samsung argued Fingon lacked material ownership to validly withdraw an opt-out and therefore the UPC lacked jurisdiction. The court held that questions of material ownership concern both jurisdiction and the merits and are not proper subjects for preliminary objections under R. 19 RoP; they must be reserved for the main proceedings.
