notable
The Hamburg Local Division rejected Tesla's application to extend the statement-of-defence deadline under Rule 9.3(a) RoP. The judge-rapporteur held that the RoP's written-procedure deadline regime (Rules 23, 29 RoP) is deliberately balanced and generous — Rule 23's three-month statement-of-defence period is already designed to allow factual investigation and internal coordination in international patent disputes, including across vacation periods. Tesla's reasons — coordination with non-EU suppliers whose components are central to the infringement allegation, and the vacation-absence of key contact persons — were not 'compelling reasons' warranting exceptional extension. Additionally, the actual periods in this case ran to three months plus six or eight days due to Rule 271.6(b) in conjunction with Rule 271.4(a) RoP.
