2025-10-29 - LD Munich - FAST IP v. Skechers Usa - UPC_CFI_743/2025

ENGLISH: When deciding on an application to change the language of the proceedings to the language in which the patent was granted for reasons of fairness, all relevant circumstances must be taken into account. Internal working language of the parties and their possibility of internal coordination and support are relevant considerations. arguments referring to the conditions in which the final decision may be enforced are of less relevance in the overall assessment, as they relate to the outcome of the trial and not to the respective situation of the parties during the proceedings.

Language changed from German to English. Noteworthy: enforcement arguments are of less relevance in the assessment — focus is on parties position during proceedings, not trial outcome. Both parties non-German, English dominant in field.
