    Summary: The Paris Central Division ruled on a preliminary objection by Robert Bosch companies challenging its jurisdiction over an infringement action by Valeo Systèmes d'Essuyages concerning EP 2 671 766 (wiper system patent). The court upheld the objection and transferred the case to the Düsseldorf Local Division, finding that the Central Division lacked competence. The language of proceedings before the Düsseldorf Local Division was set as English.
