notable
The Munich LD held that preliminary objections under R. 19 RoP can be raised against counterclaims for revocation (not just infringement actions), based on equality of arms. The court further held that Art. 33(2) UPCA applies not only between different divisions but also within the same division (a fortiori) — a second counterclaim for revocation between the same parties on the same patent is inadmissible when a first counterclaim is already pending. No separate cost decision for the preliminary objection.
