| 2026-02-18 | UPC_CFI_819/2024 | Mannheim LD | Withdrawal (RoP265) | Withdrawal | Withdrawn | The Mannheim Local Division permitted Corning's partial withdrawal of its infringement action (EP 3 296 274) against defendants Hisense Gorenje Germany GmbH and Hisense Europe Holding GmbH (defendants 1 and 2) under R. 265 RoP. The infringement action continues against TCL and LG (defendants 3–6). Simultaneously, the counterclaim for revocation filed by defendants 1 and 2 was also withdrawn and declared closed. Corning bears the costs of the withdrawn infringement proceedings against defendants 1–2; defendants 1–2 receive a 40% reimbursement (EUR 8,000) of their counterclaim court fees. |
| 2026-01-13 | UPC_CFI_628/2024 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Not infringed | Final decision on the merits in infringement action by Emboline, Inc. against AorticLab srl (EP 2 129 425, medical device). Court dismissed the infringement action finding the patent not infringed. The defendant's counterclaim for revocation was conditional (dependent on a finding of infringement), and since no infringement was found, no decision was made on the counterclaim. Both parties bear their own costs. Key headnotes: infringement not excluded by normal non-infringing operation if patent-compliant use remains possible; irregular use of a medical device in line with professional practice can constitute infringement; conditional counterclaim limited in scope (Rule 263.3 RoP). |
| 2025-12-22 | UPC_CFI_407/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Withdrawal (RoP265) | Withdrawal | Withdrawn | The Düsseldorf Local Division accepted the mutual withdrawal of Atlas Global Technologies' infringement action and Vantiva's counterclaim for revocation concerning EP 3 353 901, with the parties waiving a cost decision. |
| 2025-12-12 | UPC_CFI_525/2025 | Munich LD | Generic Order | Costs | Procedural only | Order of the Munich Local Division granting a security for costs application (Rule 158 RoP) filed by OPPO, OnePlus, Realme and other defendants against ASUS Technology Licensing Inc. (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). |
| 2025-12-04 | 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 2025-11-13 | UPC_CFI_321/2025 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Withdrawn | The Hague Local Division recorded the withdrawal of AdvanSix Resins & Chemicals LLC's infringement action against Troy Chemical and Azelis entities concerning EP 3 286 270, with 60% of court fees reimbursed (€96,600) and certain documents declared confidential pursuant to R. 262.2 RoP. |
| 2025-11-13 | UPC_CFI_321/2025 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Withdrawn | Duplicate of the Hague Local Division decision recording AdvanSix's withdrawal of the infringement action against Troy Chemical and Azelis entities (EP 3 286 270), with 60% court fee reimbursement and confidentiality order. |
| 2025-11-12 | UPC_CFI_407/2025 | Brussels LD | Application for an Order for inspection pursuant to RoP199 | Evidence | Procedural only | Review order by the Brussels Local Division following an ex parte order for preservation of evidence/inspection pursuant to Rule 197.3 RoP in Genentech/Roche v Organon proceedings. The court confirmed the inspection orders with modifications, set a deadline for expert reports, and set a 31-day (or 20 working day) term for initiating infringement proceedings after receipt of the experts' report. |
| 2025-10-03 | UPC_CFI_819/2024 | Mannheim LD | Withdrawal (RoP265) | Withdrawal | Withdrawn | Decision permitting Corning Incorporated's partial withdrawal of its infringement action (EP 3 296 274) against Defendants 7 to 9 (LG Electronics entities). Defendants 7-9 did not contest the withdrawal. The proceedings against LG Electronics entities were declared closed. The counterclaim for revocation filed by Defendants 3-9 (TCL and LG entities) concerning the same case was addressed separately. |
| 2025-08-13 | UPC_APP_11672/2025 | The Hague LD | Procedural Order | Procedural | Not infringed | The Hague Local Division dismissed Winnow Solutions' infringement action against Orbisk B.V. (food waste monitoring system, EP 3 198 245), finding no infringement. The patent was partially revoked and Winnow was ordered to pay EUR 112,000 in legal costs. |
| 2025-08-13 | ACT_36388/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Partially revoked | The Hague Local Division dismissed Winnow Solutions' infringement claims (EP 3 198 245, food waste monitoring system) and partially revoked the patent as granted, maintaining it only in the form of Conditional Request 3 (an amended version). The patent was found not infringed by Orbisk B.V. in the form maintained by the court. Winnow was ordered to pay 85% of Orbisk's costs (EUR 112,000 legal costs, EUR 15,000 court fee, EUR 5,500 expert costs = EUR 112,625 total). Orbisk's R.190 document production application was dismissed. |
| 2025-07-28 | ACT_63643/2024 | Lisbon LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Lisbon Local Division scheduling order in Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson v. ASUSTek Computer Inc. (EP 2 819 131 B1). Both parties agreed on appointment of a technically qualified judge and joint hearing of infringement and revocation counterclaim. Oral hearing scheduled for 25 March 2026. The court found no need to rule on alignment of reply deadlines as service of the SoD and CCR was established. |
| 2025-06-16 | ACT_14764/2025 | Hamburg LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI granted | Hamburg Local Division granted a preliminary injunction ordering OTEC Präzisionsfinish GmbH to cease and desist from manufacturing, offering, placing on the market, using, exporting, or possessing in 18 UPC contracting states an electrolytic medium for electropolishing processes that infringes a patent for such a medium. The court held that validity is established on a balance of probabilities standard (more likely than not valid); the burden for invalidity lies with the defendant. The weighing of interests favoured the applicant as the defendant's product enabled new machine sales creating market opportunities lost to the applicant. The defendant's request for security for enforcement was denied as no sufficient facts (e.g. financial difficulties) were presented. Penalty of up to EUR 250,000 per non-compliance. |
| 2025-06-16 | ACT_14764/2025 | Hamburg LD | Application for provisional measures | Procedural | Procedural only | The Hamburg Local Division (full panel: Klepsch, Schilling, Rinkinen, Goedeweeck) partially granted OTEC Präzisionsfinish GmbH's application for rectification (R. 353 RoP) of the provisional measures order of 16 June 2025 granted to Steros GPA Innovative S.L. concerning EP 4 249 647. The court corrected clerical mistakes (omitted letters) and certain erroneous references (water-in-oil to oil-in-water emulsion, a missing table reference, and a result table entry). However, the court rejected OTEC's request to alter the description of the 'skilled person' in the art, finding that this went beyond rectification of obvious slips. |
| 2025-05-30 | UPC_CFI_407/2025 | Brussels LD | Application for preserving evidence pursuant to RoP192 | Evidence | outcomeName.other | The Brussels Local Division granted Genentech / Roche's ex parte applications for an order to preserve evidence (R. 192–198 RoP) and an order for inspection (R. 199 RoP) against Organon and Shanghai Henlius Biotech concerning EP 3 401 335 B1 (biological pharmaceutical patent). The orders were granted after an oral hearing on 23 May 2025. The order to preserve evidence required production of digital information; Organon NV and Organon Heist BV face a penalty of EUR 200,000 per hour for failure to cooperate. Costs are stayed pending the main proceedings. |
| 2025-05-09 | UPC_APP_18705/2025 | Hamburg LD | Application Rop 333 | Procedural | Procedural only | Order by Hamburg Local Division (UPC_CFI_429/2024, 9 May 2025) dismissing defendants' (Chint/Astronergy) panel review application under R. 333 RoP against refusal to order claimant JingAo Solar to provide security for costs. The panel upheld the rapporteur's order: defendants failed to substantiate a legitimate concern about unenforceability of a cost order against the Chinese claimant, notwithstanding a conflicting order in parallel Munich LD proceedings. |
| 2025-05-08 | ACT_3186/2025 | Lisbon LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | Lisbon Local Division denied Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH's application for a preliminary injunction against Zentiva Portugal, LDA concerning EP 1 830 843 (nintedanib for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis). The court found no imminent infringement: Zentiva's receipt of marketing authorisations and filing of a parallel exclusivity period (PEP) request did not demonstrate that market entry was imminent before patent expiry. The PEP request was filed in the usual course of business and the Defendant was aware of the risk of PEP expiry. Value of case set at EUR 1,000,000. |
| 2025-05-08 | UPC_CFI_582/2024 | Brussels LD | Generic application | — | Dismissed | The Brussels Local Division dismissed Yealink's application for rectification (R. 353 RoP) of the Final Order of 21 March 2025, which had dismissed Barco's application for provisional measures and ordered Barco to pay Yealink's costs up to the EUR 112,000 ceiling. Yealink sought to clarify the order by adding the word 'interim' to the costs award, but the court found no clerical error, miscalculation or obvious omission warranting rectification. The court confirmed that the costs award of EUR 112,000 against Barco (the unsuccessful party in the provisional measures) was already clearly an interim award on the face of the Final Order. |
| 2025-04-29 | UPC_APP_12962/2025 | The Hague LD | Application Rop 265 | Procedural | Settled | The Hague Local Division order granting withdrawal of both the infringement action (filed by Hand Held Products Inc.) and the counterclaim for revocation (filed by Scandit AG and Scandit Inc.) concerning EP 4 163 816, following a settlement between the parties. Both parties consented to withdrawal; no cost decisions were requested. The court also ordered 60% reimbursement of court fees to each party (written procedure not concluded in either action) and set the value of each action at EUR 3,000,000. The register was instructed to record the closure of both actions. |
| 2025-04-23 | UPC_CFI_452/2024 | Nordic-Baltic RD | Application Rop 265 | — | Withdrawn | The Nordic-Baltic Regional Division declared proceedings closed following the mutual withdrawal of Viking Arm AS's infringement action and Stanley Black & Decker's counterclaim for revocation concerning EP 3 953 541. Both parties consented to each other's withdrawal and agreed that no cost decision was required. |
| 2025-04-04 | UPC_APP_11625/2025 | Lisbon LD | Application Rop 265 | Procedural | Withdrawn | Lisbon Local Division decision granting Ericsson's application to withdraw its infringement action against Digital River Ireland Ltd, one of two defendants in proceedings concerning EP 2 819 131, following Digital River's insolvency (winding-up order of 24 February 2025 by Irish Court). The court found no legitimate interest of Digital River in having the matter decided, held that each party bears its own costs (insolvency was a circumstance outside either party's control), and directed Ericsson to file an amended statement of claim removing Digital River from the main action. The infringement action against AsusTek Computer Inc. continues. |
| 2025-03-31 | UPC_APP_7618/2025 | Munich LD | Amend Document | Procedural | Procedural only | The Munich Local Division granted JingAo Solar Co., Ltd.'s application to amend its patent claims under R. 30 RoP in response to counterclaim for revocation, clarifying that the patentee is not restricted to amending only claims directly targeted by invalidity grounds and that EPO-amended claim versions may be introduced into UPC proceedings. |
| 2025-03-21 | UPC_CFI_582/2024 | Brussels LD | Application for provisional measures | — | PI denied | The Local Division Brussels dismissed Barco's application for provisional measures against Yealink due to lack of urgency. Barco had waited an unreasonably long period before filing, having been aware of the allegedly infringing products since at least May 2023. Barco was ordered to pay Yealink's costs up to EUR 112,000. Dispute value set at EUR 1,000,000. |
| 2025-02-10 | UPC_APP_3474/2025 | Helsinki LD | Generic application | Procedural | Procedural only | Helsinki Local Division granted AIM Sport Development AG's application under Rule 263 RoP for leave to amend its infringement case (replacing AIM Sport Vision AG as claimant) and to add TGI Sport Virtual UK Limited as a new defendant under Rule 305 RoP. The court allowed the amendment noting the risk of irreconcilable decisions from different courts if not joined. The defendants (Supponor companies) were ordered to file their statement of defence within three months. Leave to appeal was granted. |
| 2025-01-10 | UPC_APP_68359/2024 | Munich LD | Application Rop 265 | Procedural | Withdrawn | Decision of the Munich Local Division permitting withdrawal of the infringement action by Dexcom Inc. against Abbott Laboratories and multiple Abbott entities, and withdrawal of the counterclaim for revocation and patent amendment application by the defendants. All parties mutually consented to withdrawal prior to the final decision date. Each party bears its own costs. |
| 2025-01-07 | UPC_APP_67755/2024 | Dusseldorf LD | Application Rop 265 | Procedural | Withdrawn | Düsseldorf Local Division decision allowing the withdrawal of DexCom's infringement action (including application to amend the patent) and Abbott's counterclaim for revocation by mutual consent (R. 265 RoP). Following an out-of-court settlement, DexCom agreed to withdraw the infringement action and Abbott agreed to withdraw the revocation counterclaim. Neither party requested a costs decision. The oral hearing scheduled for 8 May 2025 was cancelled. Court fees reimbursed: DexCom receives 60% of infringement action fees (EUR 22,200), Abbott receives 60% of revocation counterclaim fees (EUR 12,000). |
| 2024-10-14 | UPC_CFI_327/2024 | The Hague LD | Procedural Order | — | Procedural only | Order from The Hague Local Division dated 14 October 2024 partially granting Winnow Solutions Limited's request to produce evidence under R. 190 RoP in its infringement action against Orbisk B.V. The court found a prima facie case of infringement of EP 3 198 245 B1 and ordered Orbisk to produce certain documents, but limited the scope as the original request was too broad. Non-infringement and invalidity arguments were reserved for full panel evaluation. Orbisk was granted a period to file a R. 262A motion and access to the produced documents was restricted to Winnow's legal representatives. |
| 2024-10-11 | UPC_APP_51661/2024 | Hamburg LD | Application Rop 333 | Procedural | Procedural only | The Hamburg Local Division panel reviewed a confidentiality order restricting access to a statement of defence and witness statement, addressing whether two US attorneys employed by the claimant should be admitted to the confidentiality club. |
| 2024-08-23 | UPC_APP_48229/2024 | Lisbon LD | Generic application | Procedural | Procedural only | The Local Division Lisbon granted Ericsson leave to unconditionally limit its preliminary injunction claim against ASUSTek/Digital River Ireland by reclassifying Arvato Netherlands from a direct infringer to an intermediary under Art. 62(1) UPCA, narrowing the scope of injunctive relief sought. |
| 2024-08-16 | ORD_46326/2024 | Lisbon LD | Generic Order | Procedural | Procedural only | Lisbon Local Division order on Ericsson's compliance with R. 13.1(h) RoP disclosure obligations regarding prior/pending proceedings relating to the patent. AsusTeK and co-defendants had challenged Ericsson's compliance in their opposition. The court addressed whether Ericsson must provide copies of prior art relied on, pleadings, statements of case and expert reports from other national and UPC proceedings relating to EP 2 819 131. The order resolves this disclosure dispute in a preliminary injunction action against AsusTeK for infringement of a 4G/LTE patent. |
| 2024-08-06 | UPC_CFI_327/2024 | The Hague LD | Generic application | — | Procedural only | The Hague Local Division issued a procedural order granting defendant Orbisk B.V. an extension to respond to Winnow Solutions Limited's evidence production request (R. 190 RoP) until 6 September 2024 (one week beyond the three-week period previously granted and the four-week extension Winnow agreed to), rather than allowing Orbisk to defer its response until its Statement of Defence on 27 September 2024. The extension was granted solely on account of the summer holiday period. |
| 2024-07-29 | UPC_APP_39789/2024 | The Hague LD | Application RoP262.1 (b) | Procedural | Procedural only | Procedural order granting Powell Gilbert LLP's application for public access to the register (R. 262.1 RoP) in the Abbott Diabetes Care v Sibio Technology preliminary injunction proceedings. The court applied the criteria from Ocado v AutoStore and granted access despite objections from both Abbott and Sibio that proceedings were still ongoing on appeal. |
| 2024-07-29 | UPC_APP_39761/2024 | The Hague LD | Application RoP262.1 (b) | Procedural | Procedural only | The Hague Local Division granted law firm Powell Gilbert LLP's application for public access to the written pleadings and evidence in the provisional measures proceedings between Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. and Sibio Technology Limited / Umedwings Netherlands B.V. concerning EP 2 713 879 (a continuous glucose monitoring patent), following the conclusion of those proceedings by a final order. The court applied the Ocado v AutoStore criteria and held that Powell Gilbert had a legitimate interest in understanding the decision, and that the protection-of-integrity interest no longer applied once proceedings had ended at first instance (even if an appeal was pending, per CoA precedent). Annex E1 (confidential) was subject to further consideration. |
| 2024-06-19 | ACT_14945/2024 | The Hague LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | Application for a preliminary injunction by Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. against Sibio Technology Limited and Umedwings Netherlands B.V. concerning EP 3 831 283 (wearable glucose monitoring device) was denied by The Hague Local Division. The court found it more likely than not that claim 1 of the patent would be held invalid for added matter (the claimed feature of a connector support being received through a distal-facing opening into a recess was not directly and unambiguously derivable from the application as filed). As a result, Abbott must bear defendants' costs. Value of the action set at EUR 4,000,000. |
| 2024-04-18 | ORD_20986/2024 | Hamburg LD | Generic Order | Procedural | Procedural only | Procedural order of the Hamburg Local Division on the method of service of the statement of claim on Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd., Xiaomi Inc. (both domiciled in China) and MediaTek Inc. (domiciled in Taiwan) as defendants in infringement proceedings by Daedalus Prime LLC concerning EP 2 792 100. The Court ruled that service via the German branch offices under Rule 271.5(a) RoP was not possible since the Chinese/Taiwanese defendants did not have their own place of business within the UPCA contracting member states. Service must be effected via the Hague Service Convention. |
| 2024-04-11 | UPC_APP_12563/2024 | Paris LD | Preliminary objection | motionName.jurisdictional | Procedural only | The Paris Local Division rejected multiple defendants' (ARM group) preliminary objections to jurisdiction, ruling that where one defendant has its residence within the territorial scope of the local division, Art. 33(1)(b) UPCA applies regardless of where other defendants are based, and that belonging to the same corporate group with related commercial activities constitutes a sufficient 'commercial relationship' for multi-defendant proceedings. |
| 2023-10-20 | UPC_CFI_214/2023 | Helsinki LD | Preliminary objection | motionName.jurisdictional | Procedural only | The Helsinki Local Division issued an order in a preliminary objection proceeding in an infringement action by AIM Sport Vision AG against Supponor entities; the decision text is largely redacted or not available in the excerpt. |
| 2023-10-17 | UPC_CFI_11/2023 | Nordic-Baltic RD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Nordic-Baltic Regional Division partially granted a Rule 262.1(b) request for public access to pleadings and evidence, holding that under Article 45 UPCA written proceedings are in principle public, and that a credible explanation for why access is sought is sufficient unless confidentiality is necessary. |
| 2023-09-08 | UPC_CFI_11/2023 | Nordic-Baltic RD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Nordic Baltic Regional Division issued a procedural order in OCADO's infringement proceedings against AUTOSTORE, addressing scheduling and related case management matters; the order is sparsely documented in the available excerpt. |
