Microsoft Corporation v.Suinno Mobile & AI Technologies Licensing Oy
Microsoft sought discretionary review of an order by the Paris Central Division that refused to declare Suinno's patent infringement action manifestly inadmissible under Rule 361 RoP, based on an alleged lack of independence of Suinno's representative. The Court of Appeal dismissed Microsoft's request, holding that the manifest inadmissibility standard under R. 361 RoP must be reserved for clear-cut cases and that Microsoft failed to demonstrate that discretionary review was necessary, particularly since the independence issue was already the subject of a pending appeal.

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson filed an application for provisional measures and a preliminary injunction against ASUSTek Computer Inc., Digital River Ireland Ltd., and Arvato Netherlands B.V. before the Lisbon Local Division of the Unified Patent Court, alleging infringement of European Patent EP 2 819 131 B1 through the sale of laptops and notebooks containing Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 and Wi-Fi 6 AX201 modules. The Defendants challenged the competence of the Lisbon Local Division, denied infringement, asserted invalidity of the patent, and argued lack of urgency due to Ericsson's unreasonable delay. The Court dismissed the application, finding that Ericsson had delayed unreasonably in seeking provisional measures, thereby failing to establish urgency.
Photon Wave Co., Ltd v.Seoul Viosys Co., Ltd.
This procedural order concerned an appeal filed by Photon Wave Co., Ltd. against order ORD_41423/2024 of the Paris Local Division, which had been issued in proceedings involving European Patent EP 3 404 726. Seoul Viosys Co., Ltd. raised an objection of inadmissibility, arguing that the appeal had not been expressly authorized by the Court of First Instance as required under Article 73 of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court and Rule 220.2 of the Rules of Procedure. The Court of Appeal held that the mere general reference to Rule 220.2 in the operative part of the contested order did not constitute the express authorization required for an appeal, and that such authorization cannot be presumed.

Innolux Corporation v.Phenix Longhorn, LLC
The PTAB denied the IPR petition filed by Innolux Corporation against Phenix Longhorn, LLC regarding LCD Gamma Correction technology. The denial was based primarily on Petitioner's failure to properly construct 'means-plus-function' limitations under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 6.
Arashi Vision Inc. (d/b/a Insta360) v.GoPro, Inc.

The Madras High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by M/s. Shaktiman Equipments Private Limited, upholding an earlier order from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). The core dispute involved the use of the identical trade name 'Shaktiman' by both parties.
