Was ist diese UPC-Entscheidung?

Zusammenfassung: In a separate cost-decision proceeding (R. 150 et seq. RoP) following a default infringement decision in UPC_CFI_802/2024, the Milan Local Division (judge rapporteur Perrotti) resolved two procedural threshold questions before assessing costs. First, it held that an application for a cost decision is the 'originating pleading' of the separate cost proceeding and, although such proceedings are not listed in Art. 32(1) UPCA, the statement-of-claim service rules of R. 270 et seq. RoP apply to it by extension. Second, where registered mail to a defaulting defendant is returned 'unclaimed', service is deemed effected on the tenth day after posting under R. 271.6(b) RoP; a defendant's passive or disinterested conduct cannot stall the proceeding. On the merits, applying Art. 69(1) UPCA and R. 152 RoP, the court confirmed that the Scale of ceilings is a maximum reached only in limited high-complexity situations and, given the low complexity of a single-patent default case with no evidence-taking, awarded EUR 45,000 in representation costs (below the EUR 56,000 ceiling) plus experts, translation and court fees, for EUR 62,359.32 total.
