2026-06-25 - LD Paris - KEEEX v. Adobe et al. - UPC_CFI_530/2025

In the written phase of KEEEX's infringement action over EP 2 949 070 against Adobe, OpenAI, Truepic and the C2PA bodies, the Paris LD judge-rapporteur ruled on the defendants' applications to strike parts of KEEEX's 5 June 2026 brief. She held that a brief filed under R. 29(e) in fine is, on validity, confined to answering the points raised in the defendants' revocation-counterclaim reply and may not develop fresh infringement argument, because the defendant must have the last word on infringement. KEEEX's late infringement/measures sections were therefore declared inadmissible under R. 9.2 RoP, save for claim-chart tables, a targeted response on the 'identification fingerprint' feature of the R. 30.1-amended claims, and comments on the defendants' economic reports, which were admitted under R. 36 RoP with a reciprocal right to reply. Applying the CoA Meril v Edwards line, the rapporteur refused KEEEX's subsequent patent amendment under R. 30.2 RoP, and held that adding the 'Truepic Lens' and 'Script Truepic Display' products to the infringement claim is a change of claim under R. 263 RoP that is too late to be admitted.
