ALD France S.A.S v.Nanoval GmbH & Co. KG
In this UPC decision, the Central Division addressed a challenge to the standing of the claimant in a revocation action. The court firmly established that for an independent interest in revocation proceedings, the claimant's own business activity is paramount, regardless of corporate group structures or control relationships. This ruling clarifies the scope of 'party identity' under EPC Art. 33(4) within the UPC framework, rejecting arguments based solely on parent-subsidiary links.
Brita SE v.Fileder Filter Systems Spółka z o.o.
Brita SE successfully obtained an interim injunction from the UPC Local Chamber against Fileder Filter Systems Spółka z o.o. regarding the alleged infringement of EP 2 131 940 B1. The patent covers a specific water treatment device featuring a cartridge with a rotatable locking shaft for securing the connection head. The court ordered an immediate cessation of offering and placing on the market of the infringing cartridges across multiple EU member states. This decision highlights the UPC's efficiency in granting urgent provisional measures to protect IP rights.
DISH Technologies L.L.C. v.AYLO PREMIUM LTD
This UPC decision from Mannheim addresses a procedural motion concerning cost allocation arising from an appeal against a process security order. The court ruled that costs related to defending or challenging such procedural orders cannot be determined separately under Rule 150 of the Rules of Procedure (VerfO). Instead, they must be integrated into the final overall cost assessment following the substantive judgment. Crucially, the application was also deemed moot because the main decision had already established a unified approach to costs.
DISH Technologies L.L.C. v.BROCKWELL GROUP LLC
This UPC procedural order in Mannheim addresses an infringement action brought by DISH Technologies and Sling TV against several defendants, including Brockwell Group. The court has not yet ruled on the merits but has meticulously outlined the complex technical and legal issues for the upcoming oral hearing. Key points include interpreting the scope of 'server' and 'bitrate' within the patent claims, clarifying whether infringement is cumulative across various streaming services, and addressing the procedural implications of the patent's impending expiration.
DISH Technologies L.L.C. v.AYLO PREMIUM LTD
In this preliminary ruling concerning an infringement case (UPC_CFI_471/2023), the court addressed a motion by the defendants to introduce arguments and interpretations from a related US patent proceeding. The court ultimately rejected this request, emphasizing that differing views on claim scope in foreign proceedings are not admissible for interpreting the European patent claims. This decision reinforces the principle of procedural order within the UPC, requiring parties to present all relevant facts and legal arguments promptly.

Koninklijke Philips N.V. successfully obtained a provisional injunction against Shenzhen Yunding Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Oclean) in the UPC regarding its electric toothbrush patent EP3197316. The case centered on whether Oclean's toothbrushes infringed claims related to providing motivational feedback based on brushing data. Although the court granted the immediate cessation order, it stipulated that main proceedings must be initiated promptly, highlighting the procedural requirements for provisional measures in UPC litigation.
Koninklijke Philips N.V. v.Shenzhen Yundig Information Technology Co., Ltd.
Koninklijke Philips N.V. successfully obtained a provisional injunction against Shenzhen Yundig Information Technology Co., Ltd. in the UPC regarding its electric toothbrush patent (EP3197316).
