Decision of the Court of Appeal dismissing Volkswagen AG's appeal against the Munich Local Division's rejection of preliminary objections (Rule 19/Rule 361 RoP) and finding that the opt-out withdrawals for the patents in suit were validly filed by NST's representative under Rule 5.3(b)(i) RoP without requiring a separate power of attorney. The appeal also failed on the merits of the Rule 361 RoP requests concerning standing to sue and damages for past infringements.
