Suinno Mobile & AI Technologies Licensing Oy v.Microsoft Corporation
In a procedural ruling concerning an infringement action, the UPC addressed the issue of invalid party representation for the claimant. Despite the respondent's request to dismiss the case due to the representative's lack of authority, the court rejected this argument. The panel ruled that while the initial representation was defective, it did not invalidate the entire proceeding. Instead, the claimant was granted 30 days to appoint a new, valid representative who would be required to ratify all prior submissions.
Daedalus Prime LLC v.Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd.
In a procedural order, the UPC Local Division Hamburg addressed complex bifurcation requests between an infringement action and a counterclaim for revocation concerning EP2792100. Recognizing the efficiency gains from consolidating validity arguments, the court referred the revocation counterclaim to the Central Division Paris. Crucially, the local division decided not to suspend or separate the ongoing infringement proceedings immediately, opting instead to continue them while awaiting the outcome of the parallel revocation action.
BITZER Electronics A/S v.Carrier Corporation
In this interim conference regarding the revocation action against EP 3 414 708, the UPC Central Division addressed several critical procedural issues. The court strictly enforced the principle against late-filed attacks, excluding novelty arguments that were not part of the initial statement for revocation. However, it allowed sufficiency challenges targeting the amended patent to proceed. This decision highlights the UPC's commitment to maintaining a structured and front-loaded litigation process.
