(a claimant incorporated in Taiwan) in an infringement action. The Court found that enforcing a cost decision in Taiwan would be at least unduly burdensome given the absence of international agreements or national Taiwanese laws guaranteeing enforcement of foreign judgments, and ordered security in connection with the infringement action (but not the as-yet unfiled counterclaim for revocation). |
| 2025-12-12 | UPC_CFI_146/2024 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Munich Local Division issued a rectification order under Rule 353 RoP correcting factual errors in a prior decision in the Sanofi v.

| 2025-12-09 | UPC_CFI_499/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Hague Local Division issued a procedural order addressing the defendant's attempt to set aside the default judgment, ruling that the defendant had been sufficiently warned of the default consequence and that the prior R. 275 and R. 320 orders preclude a fresh challenge under R. 356 RoP. |
| 2025-12-05 | UPC_CFI_414/2024 | Mannheim LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Not infringed | Decision of the Mannheim Local Division dated 5 December 2025 dismissing Centripetal Limited's infringement action against Keysight Technologies entities for infringement of EP 3 821 580 (methods and systems for network protection). Centripetal alleged direct infringement of claim 16 and indirect infringement of claim 1 in Germany, Italy, France and the Netherlands. The panel found that the defendants' products (AppStack, SecureStack-SSL, Threat Simulator) did not read on the claims as construed: defendants denied in the oral hearing that the source code contained functionality for threat-metadata-based routing to a CAS (a claim requirement), and Centripetal failed to substantiate its contrary position with sufficient evidence or proof under R. 171 RoP. The conditional counterclaim for revocation was not decided as the condition (infringement finding) was not met. Centripetal was ordered to bear all costs of the infringement proceedings. |
| 2025-12-05 | UPC_CFI_414/2024 | Mannheim LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Procedural order from the Mannheim Local Division dated 5 December 2025 rejecting Centripetal Limited's request to reopen the oral hearing and appoint an expert to review the source code of Keysight's products, filed on 24 November 2025 after the closure of the hearing. The court held that R. 114 RoP permits reopening only in exceptional cases identified during the oral hearing itself (e.g. for necessary additional testimony or experimental evidence emerging from the hearing) and is not available as a tool to introduce new infringement allegations after closure. Claimant's argument that defendants' counsel had made false statements about source code functionality was not sufficient to trigger R. 114 RoP. The request was rejected. |
| 2025-12-04 | UPC_CFI_806/2025 | Brussels LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Brussels Local Division issued a final order under R. 19 RoP accepting Yealink's withdrawal of its preliminary objection to territorial competence, noting that the LD Brussels had already established its jurisdiction in the earlier PI proceedings between the same parties over EP 3 732 827. |

The court upheld the jurisdiction of the UPC and the internal competence of the Paris Local Division under Art.33.1(a) UPCA, finding that infringing acts alleged in France established competence. Defendants were ordered to file their statements of defence by 2 January 2026. Costs deferred to the merits decision. |
| 2025-11-26 | UPC_CFI_806/2025 | Brussels LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Brussels Local Division procedural order (R. 19 RoP, second order) in Barco v. Yealink infringement proceedings. Yealink raised a preliminary objection to territorial competence of the Brussels Local Division under Art. 33(1)(a) UPCA. The Court had already held it had territorial competence in related PI proceedings (UPC_CFI_582/2024). Order sets out how the preliminary objection will be handled in the main infringement proceedings. |

The court held that only one of the seven defendants is based in Germany, that the relevant technology field predominantly uses English, and that the need for internal coordination and technical support among defendants justified the change on grounds of fairness under Art.49(5) UPCA. |
| 2025-11-18 | UPC_CFI_187/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Not infringed | The Hague Local Division decided in proceedings on infringement and counterclaim for revocation concerning Advanced Cell Diagnostics' RNAscope technology patents (EP 1 910 572 and EP 2 500 439) against Molecular Instruments; the decision addressed novelty, inventive step, and infringement of in situ hybridisation method claims. |
| 2025-11-17 | UPC_CFI_858/2025 | Lisbon LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Lisbon Local Division (judge-rapporteur Rute Lopes) rejected Zentiva Portugal's preliminary objection challenging UPC jurisdiction over Boehringer Ingelheim's infringement action concerning EP 1 830 843 (nintedanib for treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). The Court held that the action is an Art. 32(1)(a) UPCA infringement action based on an administrative notice (INFARMED No. 0689/2024) creating a threat of infringement, and UPC jurisdiction is properly established. Zentiva's additional argument (no demonstrated acts of manufacture etc.) was held to be a substantive merits defence outside the scope of R. 19 RoP. |

The Court granted an injunction, recall of infringing products, removal from distribution channels, provision of information and damages assessment deferred. Fakro's counterclaim for revocation was rejected. The Court confirmed that 'the same invention' in Art. 87 EPC is interpreted by the direct-and-unambiguous disclosure standard. |
| 2025-11-03 | UPC_CFI_662/2025 | Mannheim LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Dismissed | The Mannheim Local Division rejected the preliminary objection (R.19 RoP) filed by multiple Geely group defendants challenging the jurisdiction and competence of the Mannheim Local Division. The Court found it had jurisdiction under Art. 33(1)(b) UPCA over all defendants as they are members of the same corporate group, share business relations as required, and face the same infringement allegation regarding the same patent claim. The Court also established that the requirement of a 'business relationship' under Art.33(1)(b) UPCA does not require complete identity of infringing acts but merely that the accused acts are aligned in purpose. The infringement action on the merits continues. |
| 2025-11-03 | UPC_CFI_666/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Hague Local Division issued a post-interim-conference order in Adeia Guides v.

| 2025-10-30 | UPC_CFI_361/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Dismissed | The Paris Local Division (full panel: Lignieres, Kupecz, Gillet) rejected Vivo's preliminary objection challenging UPC jurisdiction and the internal competence of the Paris Local Division in Sun Patent Trust's SEP/FRAND infringement action concerning EP 3 852 468. The Court held that UPC jurisdiction is established under Art. 33(1)(a) UPCA because an allegedly infringing Vivo product was offered and delivered to a French customer via Fnac.com, constituting a harmful event in France. Vivo's additional argument that only a FRAND defence (not a FRAND main claim) falls within UPC jurisdiction was deferred to the main proceedings under R. 20.2 RoP. |
| 2025-10-30 | UPC_CFI_362/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Preliminary objection (R.19 RoP) decided by the Paris Local Division. The court rejected the jurisdictional challenge raised by Vivo (that the UPC lacks jurisdiction over an active FRAND determination request as the main claim), holding that the UPC has jurisdiction to hear the infringement action including FRAND aspects, and that the Paris Local Division is internally competent under Art.33.1(a) UPCA on the basis of alleged infringing sales in France. The preliminary objection was deferred/rejected and the case proceeds on the merits. |

| 2025-10-28 | UPC_CFI_729/2025 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Munich Local Division ordered Claimant 2 (ParTec AG) to provide security for costs of EUR 85,000 in favour of the defendants, finding insufficient evidence of ParTec's financial capacity; the application against Claimant 1 (BFexaQC AG) was rejected for lack of any financial information. |
