ESTABLISHMENT LABS S.A. v.GC AESTHETICS PARENTCO LIMITED et al.
In this preliminary objection case, Establishment Labs S.A. sued GC Aesthetics Group and its affiliates for infringing EP 3 107 487 B1 related to the Perle implant across multiple jurisdictions, including non-UPC states like Ireland and the UK. The Defendants challenged the UPC's jurisdiction over these national designations. The Local Division of Brussels dismissed the objection, affirming that the UPC possesses international jurisdiction over all parts of a European patent when one defendant is properly sued. This ruling clears the path for the merits phase to determine infringement across all claimed territories.
BARCO NV v.YEALINK (XIAMEN) NETWORK TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd. and YEALINK (EUROPE) NETWORK TECHNOLOGY BV
This UPC decision concerns the dismissal of a Preliminary Objection filed by YEALINK against BARCO NV. YEALINK had challenged the territorial competence of the Brussels Local Division, but following a favorable ruling from the Court of Appeal confirming jurisdiction, YEALINK voluntarily withdrew its objection. The court subsequently closed the proceedings based on this withdrawal, allowing the main infringement case to proceed.
