Outcome

Dismissed

Filed: Jan 5, 2026

First decided: Jan 6, 2026

Language: English

The standing judge of the Court of Appeal (Rian Kalden) dismissed Angelalign's request for discretionary review (R. 220.3 RoP) of the Düsseldorf Local Division's procedural order of 16 December 2025 (which had disregarded certain non-infringement arguments and an exhibit in the provisional measures proceedings concerning EP 4 346 690). The request was dismissed as Angelalign failed to provide sufficiently specific references to support its claim that the impugned order was 'manifestly erroneous'.
