| 2026-03-23 | UPC_CFI_1963/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Paris Local Division (panel, on R.333 review) upheld the Judge-Rapporteur's order of 17 February 2026 rejecting Bosch's preliminary objections to the territorial competence of Paris Local Division. The panel confirmed that Art. 33.1(b) UPCA requires only a commercial link between all defendants (not a direct link between the anchor defendant and each co-defendant), and that 'same infringement' means infringement of the same patent by all defendants, not identical products. |
| 2026-02-17 | UPC_CFI_1963/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Paris Local Division rejected all of Bosch's preliminary objections to the jurisdiction and internal competence of the Paris Local Division in Valeo's infringement action. The court held that the condition in Art.33.1(b) UPCA ('action relates to the same infringement') requires violation of the same patent by all defendants but does not require identical infringing products. The Paris Local Division was found competent for all defendants. Costs deferred to merits decision. |

The court held that KEEEX had complied with the order to provide a bank guarantee (required following an earlier procedural order of 19 December 2025) and that Adobe's formal objections to the guarantee were unsubstantiated. The lack of diligence required to justify a default decision was not established. |

The court found issues of added matter in the divisional patent and insufficient evidence to demonstrate infringement with the required degree of certainty. Guardant Health's request regarding a fourth patent (EP 3 470 533) was withdrawn during proceedings. Guardant Health ordered to pay Sophia Genetics EUR 400,000 as interim costs. |
| 2026-01-16 | UPC_CFI_702/2024 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Infringed | Final decision (in French) in infringement action by IMC Créations against Mul-T-Lock France (EP 4 153 830, unitary patent - lock/padlock). Court found that the MVP 1000 padlock infringed the amended claims 1 and 6 of the unitary patent as limited. Revocation counterclaim rejected (claims 1 and 6 of the amended patent valid). Injunction and corrective measures (recall, removal from channels, destruction) ordered, with a 3-month delay before enforcement per parties' agreement. Disclosure of commercial information ordered. Mul-T-Lock to bear 90% of costs. Claims on the Swiss part of the patent rejected.

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. |
| 2025-11-17 | 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. |
| 2025-10-30 | 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. |

| 2025-10-17 | UPC_CFI_624/2025 | The Hague LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI granted | The Hague Local Division granted Abbott Diabetes Care a preliminary injunction against Sinocare and A.Menarini Diagnostics regarding infringement of continuous glucose monitoring patent EP 4 344 633 (FreeStyle Libre technology), including information orders and delivery-up of infringing GlucoMen iCan products. |
| 2025-10-13 | UPC_CFI_362/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Paris Local Division (judge-rapporteur Camille Lignieres) issued a preliminary order refusing Vivo's request to postpone the deadline for filing the Statement of Defence pending the outcome of Vivo's preliminary objection on UPC jurisdiction in the SEP/FRAND case (EP 3 407 524). The Court held that R. 19.6 RoP provides that the filing of a preliminary objection should not slow down the main proceedings in the absence of exceptional circumstances. Since Vivo would raise a FRAND defence in any event, no exceptional circumstances were established. The Statement of Defence remained due on 28 November 2025. |

| 2024-05-06 | UPC_CFI_440/2023 | Paris LD | Generic Order | Procedural | Procedural only | Order of the Paris Local Division (full panel) on several procedural applications filed by Photon Wave Co. Ltd. (intervener/third party supporter of defendant Laser Components SAS) and Seoul Viosys Co. Ltd. (claimant) in an infringement action concerning EP 3 404 726.

The Court applied R. 322 RoP and Art. 49.4 UPCA, finding that while the plaintiff is Korean and chose French, the defendant is a French company based in France, and neither the representative's nationality nor a forced intervenor's nationality constitutes sufficient grounds of convenience or equity to justify a language change. The request was therefore rejected. |
