Mala Technologies Ltd. v.Nokia Technology GmbH
This case concerns a preliminary objection filed by Mala Technologies Ltd. (the patent proprietor) in a revocation action brought by Nokia Technology GmbH before the Central Division (Paris Seat) of the Unified Patent Court regarding EP 2 044 709 B1, which is valid only in Germany. Mala Technologies argued that the UPC lacked jurisdiction because a prior revocation action had been filed with the German Federal Patent Court, relying on Articles 29-32 and 71b of the Brussels I Regulation (recast). The court rejected the preliminary objection, holding that the lis pendens provisions of Article 71c(2) Brussels I Reg recast only apply when both proceedings are initiated during the transitional period under Article 83 UPCA, and since the German revocation action was filed before that period, the UPC retained jurisdiction.
