The fact that a Sana group tender outcome became clearer later did not revive urgency as it was foreseeable. Cilag was ordered to pay EUR 80,000 as an interim costs award to RiVOLUTiON.

The court dismissed Moderna's jurisdictional objections concerning Moderna Spain, Moderna Poland, and Moderna Norway, finding that the UPC has international jurisdiction under Art. 8(1) Brussels I Recast (commercial relationship within the same group) and that the LD The Hague has local competence under Art. 33(1)(b) UPCA because Moderna Netherlands B.V. is domiciled in the Netherlands.

The court dismissed both the literal infringement claim and the infringement-by-equivalence claim against OrthoApnea S.L. and Vivisol B BV. On literal infringement, the court interpreted the patent claims in light of the claim as a whole and found the accused products did not meet all claim features. On equivalence, the court found no functional equivalence regardless of which equivalence test was applied. The court also lifted the earlier evidence-preservation order (seizure) and ordered the claimant (unnamed, anonymized) to pay the defendants' costs.

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. |
| 2024-09-17 | ACT_581538/2023 | Brussels LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Brussels Local Division issued a procedural order following an interim conference under R. 105.5 RoP, setting the schedule and framework for the oral hearing in this infringement action concerning EP 2 331 036. |

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 held that the mushroom strain was not excluded from patentability under Art. 53(b) EPC and found a prima facie case of infringement. The defendant was ordered to deliver up infringing Cayene mushroom strains, provide customer information, pay an interim award of EUR 11,000 in costs, and penalties of up to EUR 50,000 per day for non-compliance.

| 2024-06-19 | ACT_14945/2024 | The Hague LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | Application for a preliminary injunction by Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. against Sibio Technology Limited and Umedwings Netherlands B.V. concerning EP 3 831 283 (wearable glucose monitoring device) was denied by The Hague Local Division. 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. |
| 2024-05-01 | UPC_CFI_379/2023 | The Hague LD | Generic application | — | Withdrawn | The Hague Local Division (full panel) declared the infringement action by Keestrack N.V. against Geha Laverman B.V. concerning EP 3 713 672 closed following withdrawal of the action with the consent of the defendant.
