notable
The President of the CFI granted the defendants' application under R. 323 RoP to change the language of proceedings from German to English at the Munich LD. Nine OPPO group defendants from four countries (China, Germany, Netherlands, Italy) all used English internally. Applying the CoA's fairness framework from Advanced Bionics v Med-EL and CoA_354/2024, the President held that in multi-defendant cases the common working language of the defendant group is decisive. Party size must be weighed against internal communication needs, particularly coordination between legal departments and technical support. English was neutral for the Taiwanese claimant. The request for German oral hearings was dismissed as premature — to be discussed with the JR at a later stage.
