    AppealPublic

    Summary: The Court of Appeal rejected the appellants' request for suspensive effect of their appeal against a Local Division Hamburg provisional-measures order (UPC_CFI_1321/2026) that had found direct and indirect infringement of EP 4 242 056. It held the alleged manifest error affected only a severable part of the indirect-infringement disclosure obligation (an 'insbesondere ohne' clause), and that the respondent's valid, unconditional waiver of enforcement of that clause removed the appellants' remaining legal interest in relief. No costs decision was made, as the order is not a final decision.
