Summary: Both the infringement action brought by Wonderland Nurserygoods and the counterclaim for revocation by the Cybex defendants were dismissed.

Summary: Düsseldorf Local Division decided to proceed with both the infringement action and the counterclaim for revocation jointly (Art. 33(3)(a) UPCA) in Wonderland Nurserygoods Co., Ltd. v. Cybex GmbH et al. (EP 1 905 615). Both parties consented to the joint hearing. The early decision on the bifurcation issue was taken under R. 37.2 RoP for reasons of efficiency and to allow uniform interpretation of the patent.
