| 2025-05-02 | UPC_CFI_86/2025 | Mannheim LD | Generic application | — | Procedural only | Order from the President of the Court of First Instance dated 2 May 2025, under R. 323 RoP, changing the language of proceedings in Mannheim Local Division case UPC_CFI_86/2025 to the language of the patent (as applied for by The Walt Disney Company entities as defendants). The order sets out principles on language change: the possibility of changing to the patent language does not conflict with the claimant's initial choice; the defendant's position is decisive when the balancing of interests is equal; and since the claimant has flexibility in choosing where to file, the language of the patent is generally not unfair to the claimant. |

The costs of a third law firm (Hausanwalt) beyond the two official UPC representatives were not reimbursable due to lack of demonstrated necessity. |
