| 2025-11-18 | UPC_CFI_804/2025 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Order of the President of the Court of First Instance granting TP-Link's application under R.323 RoP to change the language of proceedings from German to English. The court held that only one of the seven defendants is based in Germany, that the relevant technology field predominantly uses English, and that the need for internal coordination and technical support among defendants justified the change on grounds of fairness under Art.49(5) UPCA. |
| 2025-11-18 | UPC_CFI_187/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Not infringed | The Hague Local Division decided in proceedings on infringement and counterclaim for revocation concerning Advanced Cell Diagnostics' RNAscope technology patents (EP 1 910 572 and EP 2 500 439) against Molecular Instruments; the decision addressed novelty, inventive step, and infringement of in situ hybridisation method claims. |

| 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. |
| 2025-11-17 | UPC_CFI_541/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Application Rop 265 | Procedural | Withdrawn | The Düsseldorf Local Division permitted the claimant to withdraw the infringement action against Defendant 2 (Wizart LLC) under R. 265.1 RoP after Defendant 1 asserted that Wizart LLC was a non-existent entity; the statement of claim had not yet been served on Defendant 2. |
| 2025-11-13 | UPC_CFI_321/2025 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Withdrawn | The Hague Local Division recorded the withdrawal of AdvanSix Resins & Chemicals LLC's infringement action against Troy Chemical and Azelis entities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. |

| 2025-11-12 | 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.

| 2025-11-12 | UPC_CFI_837/2024 | Dusseldorf LD | Application Rop 333 | Procedural | Procedural only | The Düsseldorf Local Division panel dismissed the defendants' application under R. 333.1 RoP to review the judge-rapporteur's order refusing to extend deadlines for filing rejoinder and related submissions in the American Wave Machines v. Surftown wave-machine patent case. |

(Defendant 2) to be good service under R. 275.2 RoP, after the Chinese central authority failed to process the Hague Convention request for several months. |
| 2025-11-11 | UPC_CFI_771/2025 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Munich Local Division reviewed a confidentiality order (R. 333 RoP) and upheld admission of Solvay's employee to the confidentiality club in the fluoropolymer infringement proceedings, finding that employment within the claimant's economic unit was sufficient grounds for admission. |
| 2025-11-07 | UPC_CoA_900/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application Rop 223 | Procedural | Dismissed | Court of Appeal (judge-rapporteur) rejected Lepu Medical's application for suspensive effect of its appeal against a preliminary injunction granted by the Hamburg Local Division in favour of Occlutech. The CoA held that Lepu failed to demonstrate that the impugned order contained manifest errors or that the appeal would become devoid of purpose without suspensive effect. Lepu's claim that enforcing the injunction would damage its reputation was insufficient to outweigh Occlutech's interest in preventing imminent patent infringement. |
| 2025-11-07 | UPC_CFI_1041/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Generic Order | Procedural | Procedural only | The Düsseldorf Local Division ruled on Micron's application to extend procedural deadlines (preliminary objections and statement of defence) in a large-scale YMTC v. Micron patent infringement campaign, partially granting extended deadlines. |
| 2025-11-07 | UPC_CoA_579/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | Court of Appeal allowed OTEC's appeal and set aside the first-instance order granting provisional measures to STEROS. The CoA found the appeal successful and ordered that STEROS's application for provisional measures be rejected. STEROS was ordered to bear the costs of both the first-instance and appeal proceedings. |
| 2025-11-07 | UPC_CoA_579/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application for provisional measures | Procedural | Procedural only | The Court of Appeal (Panel 1a: Grabinski, Gougé, Blok, Meewisse, Schmidt) partially granted STEROS GPA Innovative S.L.'s application for rectification (R. 353 RoP) of the Court of Appeal's order of 7 November 2025 which had set aside the Hamburg Local Division's provisional measures grant and rejected the application for provisional measures concerning EP 4 249 647. The court corrected a clerical mistake in margin 45 (Table 1 changed to Table 10), but rejected STEROS' further argument that margin 43 contained an 'obvious slip' since the proposed change would affect the substance of the reasoning. |
| 2025-11-06 | UPC_CFI_723/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Application for provisional measures | Procedural | Procedural only | Düsseldorf Local Division procedural order in Align Technology's application for provisional measures against Angelalign. The order addresses Angelalign's request for security for costs under R. 158.1 RoP based on Align Technology's US domicile and assesses whether enforcement of a cost order would be unduly burdensome. This order was issued before the final provisional measures order of 12 February 2026. |

The Court held that suspensive effect is the exception, not the rule, and that enforcement of information orders may only be suspended in exceptional circumstances. No such exceptional circumstances (manifest error, or appeal becoming devoid of purpose) were shown. BSRP failed to establish that providing the information would cause irreparable harm. |
| 2025-11-05 | UPC_CoA_762/2024 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Revoked | Court of Appeal decision (English) – duplicate/related filing to UPC_CoA_773/2024. Same substantive outcome: Seoul Viosys's LED patent claims 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9 revoked for added matter; all infringement claims dismissed; Viosys ordered to bear costs of both instances. |
| 2025-11-05 | UPC_CoA_762/2024 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Revoked | German-language version of the Court of Appeal decision (UPC_CoA_762/2024 and 773/2024) in Seoul Viosys v expert. Claims 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9 of the LED patent revoked for added matter. All infringement claims dismissed. Viosys ordered to bear all costs for both instances. |
| 2025-11-05 | UPC_CoA_773/2024 | Court of Appeal | Appeal RoP220.1 | motionName.appeal_decision | Revoked | Court of Appeal decision (English) on the appeal in the counterclaim for revocation and the related infringement action concerning Seoul Viosys's EP (LED patent, EP 698). The CoA found added matter in claim 1 of the patent (content extended beyond the earlier application as filed, particularly regarding embodiments with a single mesa). Claims 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9 revoked. Infringement action dismissed. Viosys ordered to pay expert's costs for both appeal and first instance proceedings. Key headnotes: court may raise added matter of its own motion; translation of international application governs content; patentee must demonstrate inaccuracy of its own translation. |
| 2025-11-05 | UPC_CFI_461/2024 | Hamburg LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Hamburg Local Division correction order (R. 353 RoP) correcting several errors in the judgment of 5 November 2025 in Dolle v. Fakro concerning EP 2 476 814 B1. Corrections included party representative name, address, patent claim reference number errors, and addition of the defendants' counterclaims relating to conditional auxiliary requests. |
| 2025-11-05 | UPC_CFI_461/2024 | Hamburg LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Infringed | Hamburg Local Division found that Fakro entities infringed Dolle A/S's European Patent EP 2 476 814 B1 (roof window with priority claim).

| 2025-11-03 | UPC_CFI_662/2025 | Mannheim LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Dismissed | The Mannheim Local Division rejected the preliminary objection (R.19 RoP) filed by multiple Geely group defendants challenging the jurisdiction and competence of the Mannheim Local Division. The Court found it had jurisdiction under Art. 33(1)(b) UPCA over all defendants as they are members of the same corporate group, share business relations as required, and face the same infringement allegation regarding the same patent claim. The Court also established that the requirement of a 'business relationship' under Art.33(1)(b) UPCA does not require complete identity of infringing acts but merely that the accused acts are aligned in purpose. The infringement action on the merits continues. |
| 2025-11-03 | UPC_CFI_104/2025 | Paris CD | Revocation Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Central Division Paris issued a procedural order under R. 340 RoP joining the counterclaim for revocation from the Munich Local Division to the pending revocation action before the Central Division Paris, to avoid contradictory decisions on EP 3 812 870. |
| 2025-11-03 | UPC_CFI_666/2024 | The Hague LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Hague Local Division issued a post-interim-conference order in Adeia Guides v. Walt Disney entities (EP 1 969 839, electronic programme guide patent), setting out decisions on scheduling and procedural steps following the interim conference. |
| 2025-10-31 | UPC_CoA_755/2025 | Court of Appeal | Generic application | Procedural | Dismissed | Court of Appeal dismissed Vivo's request to stay the first-instance proceedings (UPC_CFI_361/2025 and UPC_CFI_263/2025) and extend time limits pending the appeal proceedings. The CoA held that R.21.2 RoP (stay in context of preliminary objection appeal) cannot be applied by anticipation before an appeal against the preliminary objection order has been lodged. Under R.295 RoP, the CoA is generally not the appropriate body to decide on stays of first-instance proceedings, as the CFI is better placed to manage its own case. |
| 2025-10-31 | UPC_CFI_630/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | The Düsseldorf Local Division dismissed the application for provisional measures filed by Occultech GmbH against Lepu Medical (Europa) Cooperatief U.A. and others concerning EP 1 998 686 B2. The court found that the requirements for a preliminary injunction were not met (infringement not established with sufficient certainty), and ordered the applicant to bear the costs. The case value was provisionally set at EUR 1,000,000. |
| 2025-10-30 | UPC_CFI_1325/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Application for an Order for inspection pursuant to RoP199 | Evidence | Procedural only | The Düsseldorf Local Division granted an ex parte order for inspection and preservation of evidence at the Aquanale trade fair in Cologne regarding the defendants' 'InverJet' counter-current swimming device, in anticipation of a main infringement action. |
| 2025-10-30 | UPC_CFI_361/2025 | Paris LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Dismissed | The Paris Local Division (full panel: Lignieres, Kupecz, Gillet) rejected Vivo's preliminary objection challenging UPC jurisdiction and the internal competence of the Paris Local Division in Sun Patent Trust's SEP/FRAND infringement action concerning EP 3 852 468. The Court held that UPC jurisdiction is established under Art. 33(1)(a) UPCA because an allegedly infringing Vivo product was offered and delivered to a French customer via Fnac.com, constituting a harmful event in France. Vivo's additional argument that only a FRAND defence (not a FRAND main claim) falls within UPC jurisdiction was deferred to the main proceedings under R. 20.2 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. |
| 2025-10-30 | UPC_CoA_8/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application For Costs | Costs | Costs only | The Court of Appeal (Panel 1b: Grabinski, Gougé, Germano, Checcacci, Wilhelm) ordered Bhagat Textile Engineers to provide security for costs of EUR 19,000 (50% of the applicable ceiling) within 10 days in the appeal against the Milan Local Division's infringement judgment concerning EP 2 145 848. The court rejected Oerlikon's request for security regarding first-instance costs already awarded (as those are a matter of enforcement). Security was justified by Bhagat's financial difficulties, the non-enforceability of UPC orders in India, and Bhagat's explicit acknowledgment that it cannot pay the first-instance costs. |
| 2025-10-30 | UPC_CoA_8/2025 | Court of Appeal | Application For Costs | Costs | Costs only | Italian-language version of the Court of Appeal order (Panel 1b) ordering Bhagat Textile Engineers to provide security for costs of EUR 19,000 in the appeal concerning EP 2 145 848. Identical substance to the English version: security ordered based on Bhagat's financial difficulties and non-enforceability of UPC orders in India. Request for security covering first-instance costs rejected. |
| 2025-10-29 | UPC_CFI_743/2025 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Order of the President of the Court of First Instance granting Skechers' application under R.323 RoP to change the language of proceedings from German to English. The court held that all Skechers subsidiaries except one are based outside Germany, that the group's internal working language is English, and that conditions of enforcement of any future judgment were of lesser relevance than the parties' coordination needs during proceedings. |
| 2025-10-28 | UPC_CFI_729/2025 | Munich LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Munich Local Division ordered Claimant 2 (ParTec AG) to provide security for costs of EUR 85,000 in favour of the defendants, finding insufficient evidence of ParTec's financial capacity; the application against Claimant 1 (BFexaQC AG) was rejected for lack of any financial information. |
| 2025-10-28 | UPC_CFI_555/2024 | Hamburg LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Procedural order summarising an online interim conference held on 22 October 2025. The judge-rapporteur set the value of the infringement action at EUR 3 million and the counterclaim for revocation at EUR 4.5 million (total EUR 7.5 million). The parties agreed to resolve reimbursable legal costs out of court at approximately 50% of the ceiling. The judge-rapporteur admitted the Patent Sale Agreement and Patent Assignment Agreement (Exhibits PS 11 and 12) to the file. No substantive ruling on infringement or validity was made. |
| 2025-10-28 | UPC_CFI_537/2024 | Hamburg LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Hamburg Local Division procedural order summarising the interim conference of 22 October 2025 in Malikie Innovations v. Nintendo, including case management orders: case value set at EUR 7.5 million (EUR 3m infringement + EUR 4.5m counterclaim), agreement on reimbursable legal costs (approximately 50% of ceiling), updates on parallel proceedings, and admission of second round of patent amendment auxiliary requests. |
| 2025-10-27 | UPC_CFI_127/2025 | Milan LD | Application for preserving evidence pursuant to RoP192 | Evidence | Procedural only | The Milan Local Division, following panel review (R.333 RoP) at Xelom's request, confirmed the ex-parte evidence preservation order (sequestro / saisie) issued in favour of Prinoth S.p.A. against Xelom s.r.l. The order confirmed the preservation of evidence relating to EP 1 995 159 and EP 2 507 436 (snow grooming / ski slope preparation equipment). Key holdings: (1) For ex-parte evidence preservation, the court's assessment is necessarily ex ante and does not require proof of certain destruction—statistical probability of evidence alteration suffices. (2) Procedural correctness of the patent holder must be assessed relative to the patent at issue; references to foreign patent prosecution are irrelevant. (3) The adequate security (garanzia) must be proportionate to potential damage and costs of litigation at the evidence acquisition stage only, not projected across the entire future proceedings. |
| 2025-10-27 | UPC_CFI_178/2024 | Milan LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Revoked | The Milan Local Division revoked EP 2 726 230 B1 (mesh production method and device) in its entirety following the defendants' counterclaim, dismissed the application to amend the patent, and dismissed the infringement action; claimant Progress Maschinen bore the majority of costs. |

| 2025-10-23 | UPC_CFI_497/2024 | Milan CD | Revocation Action | Revocation merits | Patent amended | The Central Division Milan rejected the revocation action by bioMérieux against Labrador Diagnostics' EP 3 756 767 B1 (diagnostic test patent), maintaining the patent in amended form pursuant to Auxiliary Request 3; bioMérieux was ordered to pay EUR 400,000 in legal costs to Labrador. |
| 2025-10-22 | UPC_CFI_587/2025 | The Hague LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | The Hague Local Division dismissed Abbott Diabetes Care's application for provisional measures against Sinocare and A.Menarini Diagnostics concerning EP 3 988 471, finding that the GlucoMen iCan device does not infringe claim 1 because event data icons are displayed in a separate panel rather than within the timeline graph. |
| 2025-10-22 | UPC_CFI_575/2025 | Mannheim LD | Preliminary objection | motionName.jurisdictional | Procedural only | The Mannheim Local Division (judge-rapporteur Marjolein Visser) ruled on a preliminary objection filed by the defendants in an infringement action by Honeywell Control Systems Ltd. concerning EP 2 563 695 B1. The court dismissed the request to transfer the case to The Hague regarding Sovex Systems (D1) and the other Dutch defendants (D2-D6), finding that the Mannheim Local Division has competence under Art. 33(1)(a) UPCA based on alleged infringement occurring in Germany. The request to dismiss for lack of international jurisdiction over Hemtech (D7, Bosnia) was also addressed. |
| 2025-10-21 | UPC_CFI_553/2025 | Hamburg LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI granted | The Hamburg Local Division granted Occlutech GmbH's application for a preliminary injunction against Lepu Medical Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd. and Lepu Medical (Europe) Cooperatief U.A. for threatened infringement of EP 2 387 951 (braided occlusion device). The Court held that CE-mark approval for the defendants' competing medical device constituted imminent infringement under R. 206.2(c) RoP, regardless of whether the applicant had prior knowledge. An injunction was issued prohibiting offering, placing on the market, and use in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Ireland. Value: EUR 1,000,000; defendants bear costs. |
