LiNA Medical AG vs. Tonglu Qianyan Medtech Co., Ltd. - Good Service Procedural Order
In this procedural order from the Local Division of Düsseldorf of the Unified Patent Court, issued on July 20, 2026, the court addresses the issue of serving a statement of claim under The Hague Convention related to EP 2 593 025 B1. LiNA Medical AG, the claimant, had difficulty serving Defendants Tonglu Qianyan Medtech Co., Ltd., Mr. Sam Lee, and Eunitor GmbH because the competent Chinese authority reported that Defendants 1 and 2 refused to accept documents. The court, considering the refusal as a strong indication against any other service method, deems the steps taken so far as sufficient for good service under R. 275.2 RoP. The court orders public service by a notice posted or published, which is considered effective 30 days after posting. This ensures claimant's legal protection despite the defendants' refusal.
