TEXPORT Handelsgesellschaft mbH v.Sioen NV
In a significant ruling, the UPC Nordic-Baltic Regional Division found that Sioen NV infringed TEXPORT Handelsgesellschaft mbH's patent covering tissue construction for protective clothing. The court granted an injunction requiring the recall and destruction of infringing products and awarded an interim sum of EUR 50,000 to TEXPORT. This decision underscores the effectiveness of the UPC in providing swift remedies against infringement within its territorial scope.
Edwards Lifesciences Corporation v.Meril Life Sciences Pvt Limited, Meril GmbH, Smis International OÜ, Sormedica, UAB, Interlux, UAB, Vab-Logistik, UAB
Edwards Lifesciences successfully sued Meril Life Sciences and associated entities for infringing its patent EP 3 769 722, which covers a low profile delivery system for transcatheter heart valves (TAVI). The UPC Court of First Instance found that the defendants' products literally infringe the patented technology. This decision is significant as it reinforces the enforceability of specialized medical device patents within the unified patent court framework, particularly in complex TAVI applications.
Fapa Vital AG v.Valentis Baltic, UAB
This decision addresses the procedural issue of reimbursing court fees when an application for provisional measures is withdrawn. The UPC confirmed that despite a technical gap in the Rules of Procedure (RoP), the provisions governing fee reimbursement should be applied by analogy to applications, not just full actions. Since Fapa Vital AG withdrew its application before the closure of the written procedure, it was awarded 60% of its court fees back.
