ALD France S.A.S v.Nanoval GmbH & Co. KG
This case concerns a nullity action filed by ALD France S.A.S against Nanoval GmbH & Co. KG regarding EP 3 083 107 B1 before the Central Division Paris. Nanoval objected under Rule 19 RoP, arguing that ALD France was a 'straw man' for its parent company (ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH), which was already a party in parallel infringement and nullity counterclaim proceedings before the Munich Local Division, rendering the action abusive and creating lis pendens. The court confirmed the order rejecting the objection, holding that ALD France's independent business activity made it a separate party from its parent, and that related companies are not 'the same party' under Art. 33(4) UPCA merely because of a parent-subsidiary relationship.

Anordnung
DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. v.AYLO Premium Ltd and Others
This order from the Local Chamber Mannheim concerned a defendants' application for cost assessment of attorney fees incurred in an appeal proceeding against an order for security for costs under R. 158 RoP. The court rejected the application as inadmissible, holding that costs arising from procedural orders, including security for cost orders, cannot be assessed in a separate cost assessment proceeding under R. 150 RoP but must instead be included in the overall cost assessment following the substantive decision. The court further held that, in any event, the application had become moot due to the unified cost decision rendered in the substantive decision of 06.06.2025.

This is a patent infringement action before the Local Chamber Mannheim of the Unified Patent Court concerning European Patent EP 2 479 680, which relates to video streaming technology. The plaintiffs, DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C., allege infringement against multiple defendants including Aylo Premium Ltd, Aylo Billing Limited, Aylo Freesites Ltd, Aylo Billing US Corp., Brockwell Group LLC, and Bridgemaze Group LLC. The order at hand is a preparatory ruling by the judge-rapporteur structuring the upcoming oral hearing scheduled for May 7-8, 2025, identifying key issues for discussion including claim construction, the formulation of the plaintiffs' requests, and questions regarding the defendants' counterclaim for revocation.
DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. v.AYLO Premium Ltd and Others
This is an order from the Local Chamber Mannheim concerning European Patent EP 2 479 680 in an infringement action. The defendants sought permission under Rule 9.1 of the Rules of Procedure to file additional written submissions regarding allegedly contradictory statements made by the first plaintiff (DISH Technologies) in a parallel US proceeding before the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board concerning a related patent (US 8,868,772). The court rejected the application, holding that a party's differing interpretation of another patent in a separate proceeding is not admissible interpretation material for the patent in suit, and that the defendants failed to justify why they could not have introduced the relevant technical facts earlier in the proceedings.
