Dyson v Dreame International and Eurep - Preliminary injunction and CJEU Referral

In this appeal case before the Unified Patent Court, Dyson sought provisional measures against Dreame International and Eurep for allegedly infringing its European Patent EP 3 119 235 related to hair care appliances, specifically targeting the sale and distribution of Dreame's hairdryer products in the UPC Territory and Spain. The Hamburg Local Division initially granted a preliminary injunction against certain Dreame products but denied it for others, prompting both parties to appeal the decision. The Court of Appeal dismissed parts of the Dreame appeal, granting Dyson's request for measures against some newer Dreame products in the UPC Territory, excluding Spain. The Court also stayed proceedings related to actions in Spain and referred questions regarding jurisdiction and interpretation of EU law to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
