Network System Technologies LLC v.Qualcomm Incorporated, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Qualcomm Germany GmbH
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court issued an order addressing two procedural matters arising from infringement proceedings involving European patents EP 1 552 399, EP 1 552 669, and EP 1 875 683. The court rejected as inadmissible NST's appeals against the Munich Local Division's dismissal of its R. 190 RoP applications for evidence production, finding them filed outside the mandatory 15-day appeal period. The court also rejected as inadmissible NST's new R. 190 RoP applications filed directly with the Court of Appeal, holding that refiling substantially the same evidence production request without new facts would circumvent the appeal mechanism.
Network System Technologies LLC v.Qualcomm Incorporated, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Qualcomm Germany GmbH
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court issued an order addressing two procedural issues arising from NST's appeals against decisions of the Munich Local Division in three related infringement proceedings concerning European patents EP 1 552 399, EP 1 552 669, and EP 1 875 683. The Court held that NST's appeals against the dismissal of its R. 190 RoP evidence production applications were inadmissible because they were filed outside the mandatory 15-day appeal period, and that NST's newly filed R. 190 applications before the Court of Appeal were also inadmissible as they sought substantially the same evidence already rejected at first instance without any new facts justifying refiling.
Network System Technologies LLC v.Qualcomm Incorporated, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Qualcomm Germany GmbH
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court ruled on procedural issues arising from Network System Technologies LLC's (NST) attempts to obtain evidence production orders under Rule 190 RoP against Qualcomm in infringement proceedings concerning three European patents. The court held that NST's appeals against the first-instance dismissal of its Rule 190 applications were inadmissible because they were filed outside the mandatory 15-day appeal period, and that NST's newly filed Rule 190 applications before the Court of Appeal were inadmissible as they sought substantially the same evidence already dismissed at first instance without any new facts justifying refiling.
