    AppealPublic

    Summary: The Court of Appeal dismissed Barco's appeal against the Brussels Local Division's procedural order of 17 August 2026, which had refused leave under R. 263 and R. 30.2 RoP to add auxiliary request AR6 (combining non-invoked claims 8 and 9). The refusal stands: Barco did not show an abuse of discretion, lacked diligence, and admission would hinder the respondents. No ruling on infringement or validity.
