TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON v.ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC. and ARVATO NETHERLANDS B.V.
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson filed an application for provisional measures against ASUSTeK Computer Inc. and Arvato Netherlands B.V. in connection with ongoing main proceedings concerning European Patent EP 2727342 B1 related to HEVC/H.265 video coding technology. Ericsson argued urgency based on the delay of the main proceedings, recent German court decisions against ASUSTeK, and the launch of new allegedly infringing products. The Milan Local Division dismissed the application for lack of urgency, holding that Ericsson failed to demonstrate new, different, and supervening factual circumstances that would justify interim relief at this late stage of the proceedings on the merits.
GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA,Rue de l’Institut 89, 1330 Ri v.Ijssel, the Netherlands, Pfizer Manufacturing Belgium N.V., Rijksweg 12, 2870 Puurs-S
This is an R.105.5 procedural order issued by the judge-rapporteur of the Court of First Instance following an interim conference in a patent infringement action brought by GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals SA against multiple Pfizer and BioNTech entities (collectively 'PBNT') concerning European Patent No. EP2590626. The order addresses procedural preparation for the oral hearing, including the value of the case, focusing of validity attacks and auxiliary requests, the conditionality of counterclaims for revocation, objections to late-filed exhibits, and the handling of expert cross-examination. The judge-rapporteur streamlined the proceedings by limiting the number of prior art attacks and auxiliary requests, rejecting most of PBNT's late-filed exhibits, and clarifying that general cross-examination of experts is not permitted under the procedural rules.

The application was filed after the main proceedings on the merits had commenced, with Ericsson citing delays in the main proceedings, recent German court decisions against ASUSTeK, and the launch of new allegedly infringing products. The Court dismissed the application for lack of urgency, holding that Ericsson failed to demonstrate new, different, and supervening factual circumstances that would justify interim relief when the main proceedings were already in their final stages.
