    Summary: Munich Local Division scheduling order in Belparts Group N.V.'s infringement action against IMI Hydronic entities concerning EP 3 812 870. The court decided to proceed with both the infringement action and the counterclaim for revocation (not to bifurcate), and set the interim videoconference for 24 March 2026 and the oral hearing for 18 June 2026. The scheduling takes into account a pending EPO Board of Appeal hearing on 27 November 2025 and a possible Central Division hearing.
