In Episode 22, our AI hosts unpack Prof. Willem Hoyng’s expert commentary on the UPC decisions from Week 33, 2025.

Highlights include:

• Imminent Infringement – CoA (Boehringer v Zentiva)
  Pre-launch steps such as pricing and reimbursement may already justify a preliminary injunction before market entry.

• Patent Invalidity – LD The Hague (Winnow v Orbisk)
  A broad claim interpretation used for infringement also led to invalidity. The Court applied the PSA but left open whether it is mandatory.

• Suspensive Effect – CoA (Sun v Vivo)
  The Court of Appeal rejected a suspension request in an urgent case for lack of a filed appeal. Prof. Hoyng strongly questions that reading of R. 223.4 RoP.

• Costs & Security – LD Munich & LD Hamburg (Syntorr v Arthrex; Ballinno v UEFA)
  Examples of pragmatic case management: encouraging early cost settlements and efficient release of security.
