|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-03-18 | UPC_CoA_930/2025 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.2 | motionName.appeal_decision | Dismissed | The Court of Appeal dismissed EOFlow's appeal against the Milan Central Division's order denying EOFlow's request under R. 262.2 RoP to keep certain information confidential. The Court held that information disclosed to the opposing party without an order under R. 262A RoP or other restriction loses its character as a trade secret. A R. 262.2 RoP request does not automatically protect information from disclosure by the other party. Information relating to a settlement agreement was also no longer confidential because its substance had already been stated in the published court order. |
| 2026-01-29 | UPC_CoA_930/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application RoP262-2 | Procedural | Procedural only | The Court of Appeal ruled on EOFlow's confidentiality request (R.262.2 RoP) concerning information communicated pursuant to a Court order under Art. 67 UPCA and R.191 RoP (relating to EOFlow's business agreements with Menarini). The Court held that there is no implicit limitation on the use of information received under a court order to communicate information; a confidentiality request must be expressly filed. R.262A RoP applies at least mutatis mutandis. This appeal arises from the Milan Central Division's order of 4 December 2025 (UPC_CFI_1167/2025) imposing penalty payments of EUR 150,000 against EOFlow for non-compliance with the provisional measures order of 30 April 2025 (UPC_CoA_768/2024). |
| 2025-10-14 | UPC_CFI_135/2024 | Dusseldorf LD | Generic Order | Procedural | Procedural only | The Düsseldorf Local Division issued an order cancelling the scheduled oral hearing in the Dolby v Beko/Arçelik infringement proceedings concerning EP 3 605 534 B1 (audio coding), due to the unavailability of one of the lead counsel for personal reasons. |
| 2025-08-14 | UPC_CFI_135/2024 | Dusseldorf LD | Generic application | Procedural | Procedural only | Procedural order granting Dolby's application to file an additional written submission pursuant to Rule 36 RoP in the infringement action against Beko/Arçelik, as Dolby made the request before the judge-rapporteur intended to close the written procedure. |
| 2025-07-31 | UPC_CFI_361/2023 | Paris CD | Generic Order | — | Withdrawn | Decision of Central Division Paris Seat allowing Toyota Motor Europe's withdrawal of its revocation action against Neo Wireless GmbH & Co. KG (EP 3 876 490) under R. 265 RoP. The proceedings had previously been stayed by agreement of the parties. Toyota's withdrawal was consented to by Neo Wireless. The court partially granted the reimbursement of court fees: 40% under R. 370.9(b)(iii) RoP (after closure of the interim procedure but before the oral hearing). |
| 2025-05-01 | APL_64374/2024 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | PI granted | The Court of Appeal set aside the Milan Central Division's refusal of provisional measures and granted Insulet a pan-European preliminary injunction against EOFlow's insulin pump device ('EOPatch'/'GlucoMen Day Pump'), finding infringement of EP 4 201 327 and awarding costs to Insulet. |
