notable
The Mannheim LD ordered Huawei (China-based claimant) to post EUR 100,000 security for costs under Art. 69(4) UPCA / R. 158 RoP. The court adopted the reasoning from the parallel Munich LD order (UPC_CFI_248/2025) and the CoA's established framework (Ballinno/Kinexon, NST/Audi, Sodastream/Aarke, Chint/JingAo). The Mannheim LD emphasized it has never successfully served any judicial document in China, making enforcement of a cost decision de facto impossible. Mere willingness to pay is insufficient to deny security. The amount was set at half the EUR 200,000 recoverable cost ceiling because only one of two defendants was participating and the costs should be proportionally split. The counterclaim for revocation costs are included in the assessment.
