    WithdrawnWithdrawalWithdrawal (RoP265)

    The Court of Appeal permitted Juul Labs International, Inc. to withdraw its appeal against the Central Division Paris revocation decision (UPC_CFI_316/2023, 17 January 2025), which had revoked EP 3 430 921 across multiple UPC member states. The withdrawal was prompted by the EPO Boards of Appeal dismissing Juul Labs' appeal on 20 October 2025, confirming the patent's revocation by the EPO Opposition Division (decision of 10 September 2024). NJOY had no legitimate interest in the appeal being decided. Court fees were reimbursed under the pre-2026 rate.
