In a case before the Munich Local Chamber of the Unified Patent Court, a legal order was issued to allow an inspection and evidence preservation relating to a patent dispute involving Reinhausen GmbH and Shanghai Huaming Power Equipment Co., Ltd. The disputed patent, European Patent No. EP 3 427 283 B1, pertains to a selector for a load tap changer. During the CWIEME exhibition in Berlin, Reinhausen requested an inspection of a product exhibited by Shanghai Huaming, identified as a potential infringement of their patent.

The court granted a detailed inspection order, without prior hearing from Shanghai Huaming. The order included provisions for disassembling the product and measuring its components to assess potential patent infringement, emphasizing thorough evidence collection. Remedies were not directly awarded as this was a preliminary inspection action.
