The parties agreed to cover their own costs. The court ordered reimbursement of 40% of court fees (EUR 20,000) under Rule 370.9(b)(ii) RoP, treating the case as equivalent to withdrawal in the interim procedure given the depth of the judge-rapporteur's involvement (an August 2025 order requesting extensive documentation comparable to a Rule 103 order). The security provided by Ona Patents was released under Rule 352.2 RoP. |

| 2025-09-04 | UPC_APP_34350/2025 | Milan CD | Generic application | Procedural | Procedural only | Milan Central Division judge-rapporteur issued a procedural order in the revocation action by Gilead Sciences against Academy of Military Medical Sciences (patent EP 3 854 403, Remdesivir for MERS/SARS-CoV-1). The order resolved disputes on the validity of service on the Chinese defendant via its EPO patent representative Lavoix.

Lavoix's objections to service were inadmissible as the patent representative had no standing to defend the patent holder without a power of attorney. Gilead's premature request for a default judgment was declared currently inadmissible. |

The stay was requested because the parties were in ongoing comprehensive settlement negotiations. Most LONGi defendants consented; for Soltech Energy GbR (defendant 4), the stay was justified in the interests of proper administration of justice. The interim conference and oral hearing dates were cancelled. |
