notable
The Mannheim Local Division (presiding Tochtermann) ordered the joint hearing of the infringement action, the revocation counterclaim and the FRAND-licence counterclaim under Art. 33(3)(a) UPCA, rejecting de facto bifurcation. The panel invoked Rule 37(2) RoP to take the Art. 33(3) UPCA decision before the close of the written procedure — permissible where the parties' submissions are considered and they are heard. Joint hearing is favoured for procedural efficiency and for consistency of claim construction by the same panel deciding both validity and infringement, and in the Court's infancy the early fixing of the trial track is warranted. No factors militated against joint hearing on the facts. The order also instructs the juge-rapporteur to request the assignment of a technically qualified judge from the President of the CFI.
