Decisions
| Date | Case | Division | Action | Motion | Outcome | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-09-15 | UPC_APP_20197/2025 | Mannheim LD | Application Rop 333 | Procedural | Procedural only | Order of the Mannheim Local Division on a review (Rule 333 RoP) of a judge-rapporteur order requiring Total Semiconductor, LLC to provide security for costs under Rule 158 RoP in an infringement action against Texas Instruments. The full panel reviewed whether the security order was justified, considering the claimant's status as a recently incorporated US-based special purpose entity funded by third-party investors with no operative business. |
| 2025-05-22 | UPC_APP_18490/2025 | Mannheim LD | Application Rop 333 | Procedural | Procedural only | The Local Division Mannheim, on a R.333 RoP panel review, dismissed Total Semiconductor's request for a further written pleading (R.12.5, R.36 RoP), upholding the judge-rapporteur's earlier order because the claimant had failed to substantiate with sufficient particularity why an additional brief was necessary. |
| 2024-09-06 | ACT_18551/2024 | Dusseldorf LD | Application for provisional measures | Preliminary injunction | PI denied | Order by Düsseldorf Local Division (UPC_CFI_166/2024, 6 September 2024) rejecting Novartis AG and Genentech Inc.'s application for provisional measures against Celltrion Inc. for alleged infringement of EP 3 805 248 B1 (biologic/antibody). The application was dismissed on the merits (infringement insufficiently established). Applicants were ordered to pay interim costs of EUR 138,562.80. The court addressed claim interpretation, imminent infringement, non-applicability of stay of proceedings (R. 295 RoP) to PI proceedings, and the costs gap in the absence of main proceedings. |
