Procedural order from the Local Division Mannheim of the Unified Patent Court concerning European patent EP 4 184 443 B1.

Nokia Technologies Oy and other v.Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd., and other
Application for provisional measures
Nokia Technologies Oy and other v.Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd., and other
Nokia Technologies Oy and Nokia Solutions and Networks Oy applied for an ex parte provisional measure described as an 'Anti-Anti Suit Injunction' against Zhejiang Geely Holding Group and Hangzhou Geely New Energy Vehicle Sales. The dispute arises from global SEP litigation between the parties, with infringement actions pending before the Local Chambers Mannheim and Munich, and a parallel rate-setting proceeding initiated by Geely before the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court. Nokia seeks to prevent Geely from obtaining an 'Interim Licence' or equivalent measure in the Chinese proceedings, arguing such relief would interfere with the UPC's jurisdiction over the European patents EP 3 799 333 and EP 4 090 075.

Irdeto B.V. v.SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd. and others
It follows from Rule 370.7 RoP that if a counterclaim for revocation is submitted on behalf of several defendants, only one court fee needs to be paid for that counterclaim. However, if one of the defendants submits their own counterclaim at a later stage (e.g. because the statement of claim was served much later), that defendant cannot rely on the fee already paid by the other defendants. In this situation, it is not the same action/counterclaim in the meaning of Rule 370.7 RoP, even if th
