2026-09-22 - LD Paris - KEEEX v. Adobe et al. - UPC_CFI_530/2025

The judge-rapporteur of the Paris Local Division issued the R. 105.5 RoP order after the interim conference in KeeeX's infringement action and the defendants' revocation counterclaim. Both sides valued each action at EUR 6.6 billion, so the dispute falls in the top band of the Administrative Committee's scale and the ceiling for recoverable representation costs was fixed at EUR 2 million. The order records that no settlement is in prospect, lists the main legal and technical points for the oral hearing (claim construction of 'digital identification fingerprint' against 'digital signature', novelty and inventive step over three starting points, admissibility of the R. 30.1 auxiliary requests, infringement, remedies and interim payments), and records the claimant's withdrawal of auxiliary request AR10, which corresponded to the patent as granted. The interim procedure was closed and the oral procedure opened for a hearing on 6 October 2026.
