The Paris Local Division dismissed an R. 9.3(a) RoP application by the infringement defendant to extend the three-month Statement of Defence deadline on the basis that two exhibits (nos. 36 and 40) could not be opened on the CMS. The Court held that service under R. 271.4(a) RoP had been properly effected on 2 November 2023 — exhibit 40 had been served in hard copy and exhibit 36 had been retransmitted by email within days of the issue being flagged — and that the defendant could not invoke its own four-week delay in opening the CMS exhibits to obtain an extension. Citing the diligence obligation in Preamble §§ 2 and 4 RoP, the Court emphasised that time limits before the UPC are strictly limited and parties must act diligently so that the Court may function fairly and efficiently. The SoD was ordered filed by 12 February 2024.
