| 2025-04-09 | UPC_APP_13218/2025 | Dusseldorf LD | Generic application | Procedural | Procedural only | Application to correct a decision (R. 353 RoP) in infringement proceedings Tridonic GmbH & Co. KG v. CUPOWER entities. The correction request was partially granted: the phrase 'direkt oder indirekt' was struck from claim 7 of auxiliary requests 3, 5, 6 and 7 in the decision of 7 March 2025, as it was an obvious clerical error. The request to add attorney Alexander Bach to the heading of the decision was refused, as the named representatives were correct and there is no obligation to list all attorneys involved at any point. |

| 2025-03-07 | ACT_590302/2023 | Dusseldorf LD | Infringement Action | Infringement merits | Not infringed | Düsseldorf Local Division full merits judgment in an infringement action by Tridonic GmbH & Co KG against CUPOWER entities concerning EP 2 011 218 B1 (a patent relating to LED driver/control circuits). The court dismissed the infringement action in its entirety, finding that the accused LED power supply products do not fulfil feature 7.4 of the patent (decoupling element) because the capacitor C3 in the defendants' design does not achieve the complete electrical separation required by the claim – it remains continuously connected to the control unit regardless of switch state. The defendants' counterclaim for revocation was also dismissed (patent maintained). Costs were split: claimant bears costs of the infringement action; defendants bear costs of the revocation counterclaim equally. |
