landmark
The UPC CoA referred four questions to the CJEU regarding jurisdiction and the concept of 'intermediary' in UPC proceedings. The case involves Dyson's PI against Dreame (hair appliances) and Eurep (authorized EU representative). The CoA stayed proceedings regarding Spain and Eurep pending CJEU answers on: (1) whether Art. 8(1)/71b(2) Brussels I Recast allows co-defendant joinder where an intermediary (Eurep) is domiciled in a UPCA Member State and the alleged infringer (Dreame) is in a third State, regarding infringement in a non-UPCA EU Member State (Spain); (2) whether Art. 71b(2) allows UPC cross-border provisional measures extending to non-UPCA EU territory; (3) whether the intermediary's services are relevant to that jurisdiction; (4) whether an authorized representative under EU product safety regulations (Reg. 2023/988, Reg. 2019/1020) qualifies as an 'intermediary' under Art. 9(1)(a) of Directive 2004/48. This is the first CJEU referral from the UPC CoA on these jurisdictional questions.
