1. If the application for provisional measures is filed within two months, it cannot normally be concluded that there has been an unreasonable delay in the case of an alleged infringement in two or more countries and in view of the necessary prior examination as to whether the defendants' embodiments actually make use of the teaching of the patent in suit and whether a legal action is also possible with any prospect of success, as well as in view of the corresponding serious preparation of the proceedings. 2. The principles laid down by the Court of Appeal in UPC_CoA_335/2023 must be applied when interpreting the patent or certain features of the patent claim. This applies equally to the assessment of infringement and to the assessment of the validity of a European Patent. The appropriate protection for the patentee and the associated sufficient legal certainty for third parties is largely determined by the wording chosen by the patentee in the light of the description and the drawings. As a result, the interpretation may lead to a broader or narrower understanding. 3. Due to the summary nature of the examination of legal validity in proceedings for the grant of provisional measures, it is not possible to carry out a full examination of all the attacks on validity as in nullity proceedings. Rather, the number of arguments raised against validity must generally be reduced to the best three from the defendant's point of view. 4. Unless the successful party puts forward important reasons (e.g. the risk of the other party's insolvency), there is no reason to order provisional reimbursement of costs in proceedings for interim measures where - as in this case - the summary proceedings must be followed by main proceedings. |

1. If in the case of a European patent a person is registered as the patent proprietor in the respective national register, there is a rebuttable presumption that the person recorded in the respective national register is entitled to be registered (R. 8.5(c) RoP). The result of such a legal presumption is to reverse the burden of explanation and proof with regard to the presumed fact. If the Applicant can refer to his listing in the registers relevant to the respective dispute, it is up to the Defendant's side to set out and, if necessary, prove that the Applicant is not entitled to be registered. 2. If a patent claim contains stated purposes, these usually serve to improve understanding of the invention. As a rule, they have the indirect effect of defining the subject matter protected by the patent in such a way that it must not only fulfil the spatial-physical features, but must also be designed to be usable for the purpose stated in the patent claim. 3. If the Applicant lacks positive knowledge of an infringement of property rights, grossly negligent ignorance or wilful blindness to an infringement of intellectual property rights is considered equivalent to such knowledge. The patent proprietor is not under a general obligation to observe the market. However, as soon as the holder of a property right becomes aware of specific circumstances that suggest an infringement of his property right, he is expected to take all measures readily available to him and to further clarify the circumstances. It is up to the Defendant to explain such circumstances triggering a duty to provide information. 4. While Art. 69(4) EPC only provides for the provision of security for costs by the claimant, R. 158 RoP extends the group of addressees of such an Order to include "the Parties" and thus also the Defendant in the main action. In urgent proceedings, there is neither scope nor (with regard to R. 211.1(d) RoP) a need for the (analogous) application of the provision, given the urgent nature of such proceedings. |
