In this episode covering Week 49 of 2025, our AI hosts unpack Professor Willem Hoyng’s expert analysis of the latest Unified Patent Court decisions.
Key highlights include:
Default Judgment re. 🍕 (LD Milan): A delicious twist in patent law. The court grants a default judgment regarding a pizza-making patent, ordering the defendant to post a message on their website.
Ex Parte Seizure (LD DĂĽsseldorf): A textbook case in Topsoe v Sypox. The court confirms that stopping production at a plant is authorized if necessary to secure evidence for a method patent.
Jurisdiction over Non-UPC Countries (LD Paris): In Keeex v Adobe, the court claims jurisdiction over non-UPC states based on website accessibility—a move Professor Hoyng argues stretches the Wintersteiger doctrine too far.
No Suspensive Effect (Court of Appeal): Suinno v Microsoft sees another request denied, prompting a discussion on the need for judicial assistants.
Conduct of Representatives (LD Mannheim): A serious warning in Centripetal v Keysight regarding baseless accusations against opposing counsel.
