| 2025-05-23 | UPC_CFI_191/2025 | The Hague LD | Preliminary objection | — | Procedural only | Procedural order from The Hague Local Division dated 23 May 2025 ruling on a preliminary objection raised by Moderna defendants. 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. An opt-out validity issue was also addressed. The decision allows the infringement proceedings to proceed on the merits. |

| 2025-03-11 | UPC_CFI_201/2024 | Munich LD | Generic application | — | Procedural only | Order from Munich Local Division dated 11 March 2025 on procedural matters arising from a preliminary injunction dispute between Syngenta and Sumi Agro. The panel upheld the judge-rapporteur's earlier order dismissing Sumi Agro's application to revoke provisional measures (which had been granted on 27 August 2024). The panel held that Syngenta had filed and paid court fees for the main proceedings in time to satisfy R. 213(1) and R. 15(2) RoP, confirming that payment does not require receipt by the court before the deadline, only that the fee was paid. Syngenta's application for re-establishment of rights was also dismissed as unfounded. Leave to appeal was granted given the fundamental interpretive issues involved. |
| 2024-08-27 | ACT_23636/2024 | Munich LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI granted | Munich Local Division granted a preliminary injunction (inter partes) against respondents ordering them to cease and desist from manufacturing, offering, placing on the market, using, exporting or possessing a herbicide composition (Kagura) infringing a patent with claims directed to a composition, across multiple UPC contracting states. The court held that for a product composition claim the applicant need only allege and prove the composition had all features of the claim; it is not required to explain why the composition had those features. Distributing infringing products outside contracting states while advertising under the same name inside creates a risk of first infringement. An actus contrarius is insufficient to eliminate such risk; a cease-and-desist declaration with penalty clause is required. Respondents may revoke the injunction if applicant does not commence main proceedings within 31 calendar days. |
