In this AI-powered edition of UPC Unfiltered, our digital hosts dive into Professor Willem Hoyng’s analysis of key decisions from the Unified Patent Court in Week 27.

Please note: This episode covers decisions published up to July 2, 2025. Due to the UPC website being temporarily unavailable due to the implementation of the new CMS, cases decided after this date will be covered in our next episode.

Key topics discussed this week include:

• Settlement & Fee Reimbursement: A critical ruling from the Düsseldorf Local Division clarifies that settling a case after the oral hearing means no reimbursement of court fees.

• Stay of Proceedings: The Court of Appeal confirms that a stay stops the clock on ALL procedural obligations, including the duty to provide security for costs.

• Security for Costs Reminder: A sharp decision from the Munich Local Division reinforces the fundamental rule that a claimant cannot ask for security for costs.
