Illumina, Inc. brought a patent infringement action before the Lisbon Local Division of the Unified Patent Court concerning European Patent No. EP3714978 against Element Biosciences, Inc., Element Biosciences Netherlands B.V., and I.L.C.

The Court rejected the dismissal request, finding the omissions were clerical mistakes that did not render the action doomed to fail, and granted Illumina's request under Rule 9 RoP to file a corrected Statement of Claim.

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson v.Asustek Computer Inc
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson filed a patent infringement action against Asustek Computer Inc before the Lisbon Local Division of the Unified Patent Court concerning European Patent EP 2 819 131 B1, alleging that Asustek's laptops and notebooks incorporating Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 and Wi-Fi 6E AX211 modules infringed the patent. Asustek counterclaimed for revocation, arguing added matter, lack of novelty, and lack of inventive step, while Ericsson filed conditional auxiliary requests to amend the patent. The Court found Asustek liable for infringement from Q2 2019 (AX201) and Q3 2021 (AX211) until 15 February 2025, dismissed the counterclaim for revocation finding the patent valid in its amended form, and ordered Asustek to pay damages and provide accounting information subject to penalty payments.
Shenzhen Transsion Holdings Co. Ltd. v.Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ) and Others
Shenzhen Transsion Holdings filed an infringement action against Ericsson entities regarding European Patent EP4123910 (EP 910) in the Lisbon Local Division of the Unified Patent Court. Ericsson sought to strike out Transsion's claims for injunctive relief under Rules 360 and 361 of the Rules of Procedure, arguing that the claims were devoid of purpose or manifestly bound to fail because parallel proceedings in The Hague concerning a FRAND-compliant worldwide cross-licence would encompass EP 910. The Court dismissed Ericsson's strike-out application, holding that the action had not become devoid of purpose and that the case was not a clear-cut matter suitable for manifest inadmissibility, as it required a full assessment of facts, law, and evidence.
