This week, our AI hosts break down Prof. Willem Hoyng’s expert commentary on a focused set of new Unified Patent Court decisions, with a focus on enforcement pending appeal, penalty sums, suspensive effect, intermediary liability, evidentiary seizures, late arguments, security for costs, and access to court documents.

In this episode, we cover:

⚖️ Enforcement, Penalty Sums & Suspensive Effect: Key decisions address withdrawal of penalty requests, rehearing applications, enforcement risk after appeal, repayment of penalties, and the UPC’s strict approach to suspensive effect.

🌍 Intermediaries, Jurisdiction & Infringement Strategy: The week highlights intermediary liability, UK-related infringement, auxiliary requests, revocation strategy, and the consequences of litigating around non-EU actors.

🔍 Evidence, Access & Procedural Discipline: Several cases examine evidentiary seizures, employee questioning, late arguments, R. 190 evidence requests, security for costs, interpreters, and the need for timely and well-substantiated procedural applications.
