Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. v.Respondent

The Hague (NL) Local Division · UPC-000468

This preliminary order was issued in infringement proceedings concerning European Patent No. EP2437696, owned by Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. The Claimant sought leave under Rule 263 of the Rules of Procedure to amend its case, requesting that its infringement claims be based on the B2 version of the patent rather than the B1 version originally referenced in the Statement of Claim. The Judge-Rapporteur dismissed the application as devoid of purpose, reasoning that under Article 68 EPC, the B2 version had retroactive effect from the original grant date, meaning the B2 text was always the operative version. The revised Statement of Claim reflecting the correct B2 text was admitted into the proceedings.

Spyra Szymon Spyra v.Respondent

The judge-rapporteur rejected the request under R. 109.1 RoP for court-provided interpretation but granted the request under R. 109.4 RoP, allowing the Defendant to arrange interpretation at his own expense in consultation with the Registry.
