v.
Yealink Network Technology - UPC-CFI-0000185/2026
routine
The Brussels LD judge-rapporteur closed the interim procedure and confirmed the oral hearing date after the Court of Appeal, on 16 October 2026, upheld the division's order refusing the patentee leave to amend the patent under R. 30.2 and R. 263 RoP, so that the late auxiliary request is not part of the proceedings and no further written pleadings are needed. The order applied the contingency mechanism of the first interim-conference order, which had tied the hearing date to the timing and outcome of the appeal. It also corrected a material mistake in the earlier pleading timetable and set guideline speaking times, with 30–45 minutes for the parties to restructure their pleadings if the Court gives a preliminary non-binding opinion. The values in dispute of EUR 1 million for the infringement action and EUR 1.5 million for the counterclaim were restated.
