notable
Comprehensive interim conference order addressing multiple procedural issues in an infringement action with counterclaim for revocation. The Hamburg LD admitted evidence of standing (PSA and PAA) introduced after standing was contested, holding that a registered patent owner need not submit proof in the SoC until challenged. The court admitted inventive step objections from new prior art in the Reply to Defence to Counterclaim as a legitimate response to the claimant's auxiliary amendment requests. Citing Agfa/Gucci and LD Düsseldorf case law, the court confirmed that new invalidity grounds cannot be raised at oral hearing for the first time — this constitutes a R. 263 amendment.
