An opt-out validity issue was also addressed. The decision allows the infringement proceedings to proceed on the merits. |

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. |

The extension was granted solely on account of the summer holiday period. |
| 2024-07-31 | UPC_CFI_195/2024 | The Hague LD | Application for provisional measures | — | PI granted | The Hague Local Division granted a preliminary injunction against the defendant prohibiting direct infringement of EP 1 993 350 B2 (relating to a hybrid Agaricus bisporus mushroom strain) in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Italy.

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. |
