26 February 2026 v.Respondent

Court of Appeal · UPC_F775DF09F9

The President of the Court of Appeal rejected an Applicant's petition for review of the Registrar's decision denying confirmation of his registration on the list of entitled representatives under Art. 48(3) UPC Agreement. The Applicant had sought confirmation of an alleged prior registration rather than a new registration, but failed to provide clear and convincing evidence that he had ever filed an application in the Case Management System (CMS). The Court held that the petition was admissible but unfounded, as the Applicant could not demonstrate that any prior application had been submitted through the mandatory CMS filing system.

The Court of Appeal addressed the inclusion of a former employee in the confidentiality circle, the continuation of the first instance confidentiality order during appeal proceedings, and the possibility of filing submissions in English.

Dolby International AB v.CPYou B.V., Acer Italy s.r.l.

Court of Appeal · UPC_395FA0654B

This procedural order concerns a panel review of a Judge-Rapporteur's order of 1 May 2026 regarding the admissibility of a counterclaim for rate-setting directed against an intervener, Vectis IP Ltd., who had intervened in support of the claimant Dolby International AB in a patent infringement action concerning EP3079153. The panel denied the review, holding that under Rule 315.4 RoP an intervener is treated as a party and may therefore be the target of a counterclaim, particularly given the principle of equal treatment. The panel further noted that the Court could rely on Rule 305 RoP to add Vectis as a proper party if necessary, and that the substantive objections raised by Dolby and Vectis (lack of standing, no dominant market position, no FRAND declaration) were matters of substance rather than admissibility.

The panel denied the review sought by the claimant Dolby and the intervener Vectis, confirming that the counterclaim against Vectis is admissible. The panel further held that, in the alternative, Vectis would be added as a proper party, and rejected the request for an extended deadline as moot.
