- 2025-05-14Request for a discretionary review (RoP 220.3)Public
Summary: The Court of Appeal (Standing Judge Patricia Rombach) dismissed Hisense, TCL, and LG's request for discretionary review (R. 220.3 RoP) and application for suspensive effect in the Corning v. Hisense/TCL/LG infringement proceedings (EP 3 296 274) before the Mannheim Local Division. The Court upheld the judge-rapporteur's refusal to separate proceedings for the competing defendant groups. Separation of proceedings is not required to protect confidential supply chain information; R. 262A RoP confidentiality orders offer an adequate alternative. The applications for suspensive effect were dismissed.
