Was ist diese UPC-Entscheidung?

Zusammenfassung: In a revocation action against EP 2 223 589, the Milan Central Division issued an interim-conference order under Rule 105.5 RoP recording the digital interim conference and organising the oral hearing fixed for 9 July 2026. As binding case-management steps the rapporteur confirmed that the claimant's representative change under Rule 293 RoP had taken effect (no admissibility concern despite the representative no longer being a managing director), set a timetable for the hearing, and ordered the parties to report on a joint value-of-the-action proposal and on recoverable costs (failing agreement, a R. 118.5 RoP estimate), permitting the claimant to file a table mapping each revocation ground to each request without new submissions. The panel also expressed preliminary, non-binding views: it provisionally assumed admissibility (deferring the Art. 47(6) UPCA 'concern' and lis-pendens/strawman questions to the final decision, with the defendant's consent), indicated that prior art D6-D8 filed only with the Reply likely could not be considered for the granted claims, and — adopting the Mannheim LD's feature analysis and claim construction — signalled that D1 might be novelty-destroying for claim 1 while auxiliary request 1 might succeed.
