Summary: Procedural order by the Court of Appeal (UPC_CoA_170/2025, 18 June 2025) closing the appeal proceedings following an out-of-court settlement between ILME and PHOENIX CONTACT. The parties had settled before the CoA issued a substantive decision on ILME's appeal against dismissal of its preliminary objection. The main infringement action at first instance had already been withdrawn. No costs were claimed by either party.

Summary: The Court of Appeal (standing judge) issued a procedural order partially granting Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG's request for an extension of the 15-day deadline to file its response to ILME GmbH's appeal against the Munich Local Division's rejection of ILME's preliminary objection (R. 19 RoP). The extension was granted for 10 days (instead of the requested three weeks), balancing efficiency with Phoenix's need to respond to complex arguments.
