| 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). |
| 2025-12-04 | UPC_CFI_806/2025 | Brussels LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | The Brussels Local Division issued a final order under R. 19 RoP accepting Yealink's withdrawal of its preliminary objection to territorial competence, noting that the LD Brussels had already established its jurisdiction in the earlier PI proceedings between the same parties over EP 3 732 827. |
| 2025-11-26 | UPC_CFI_806/2025 | Brussels LD | Infringement Action | Procedural | Procedural only | Brussels Local Division procedural order (R. 19 RoP, second order) in Barco v. Yealink infringement proceedings. Yealink raised a preliminary objection to territorial competence of the Brussels Local Division under Art. 33(1)(a) UPCA. The Court had already held it had territorial competence in related PI proceedings (UPC_CFI_582/2024). Order sets out how the preliminary objection will be handled in the main infringement proceedings. |
