Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. v. ASUSTek Computer Inc., ASUS Computer GmbH, ASUSTEK (UK) Limited

Suinno Mobile & AI Technologies Licensing OyvsMicrosoft Corporation (UPC_CoA_21/2026)

Suinno, proprietor of EP 2 671 173, appealed a decision of the Paris Central Division revoking its patent following a counterclaim by Microsoft. After the Court of Appeal ordered Suinno to provide EUR 600,000 in security for costs, Suinno applied to revoke that order, sought a time extension, and requested a preliminary ruling from the CJEU. The Court of Appeal rejected all of Suinno's applications, holding that Article 69(4) UPCA is not limited to the cases in Articles 59–62, that the security order was justified, and that a CJEU referral was unwarranted.

Ballinno B.V.vsUnion des Associations Européennes de Football (UEFA), Kinexon Sports & Media GmbH, Kinexon GmbH

Ballinno B.V., proprietor of European Patent EP 1 944 067 relating to a method and system for detecting an offside situation using sound signals, sought a preliminary injunction against UEFA and Kinexon entities to prevent the use of 'Connected Ball Technology' at the UEFA European Football Championship 2024. The Hamburg Local Division dismissed the application, finding that Ballinno had not acted with sufficient urgency and had failed to sufficiently prove infringement, as the Connected Ball Technology uses acceleration measurement rather than the sound signal sensing required by the patent claims.

Powell Gilbert LLP (Application for Public Access to the Register)vsEx Parte

Powell Gilbert LLP, as a member of the public, applied under Rule 262.1(b) RoP for access to written pleadings and evidence from provisional measures proceedings (UPC_CFI_130/2024) concerning patent EP2713879, involving Abbott Diabetes Care Inc. as applicant and Sibio Technology Limited and Umedwings Netherlands B.V. as defendants. Both Abbott and Sibio c.s. opposed the request, arguing that the proceedings were still ongoing due to a pending appeal and that Powell Gilbert lacked a sufficiently specific legitimate interest. The Local Division The Hague applied the criteria from Ocado v AutoStore and granted access, holding that the general public interest in understanding and scrutinizing court decisions outweighs the integrity of proceedings once first instance proceedings have ended, even where an appeal is pending.
