Procedural Order in CJ CheilJedang v. Eppen (UPC)

This procedural order from the Court of First Instance of the Unified Patent Court concerns an infringement claim by CJ CheilJedang Corporation against Eppen Netherlands B.V. and its affiliated companies over patent EP3508580. The defendants sought to extend the deadline for their Statement of Defence and a stay of proceedings, arguing that test results of samples were pending. CJ CheilJedang, opposing this, indicated imminent availability of the results. An extension of 6 weeks post-receipt of CJ's test results was granted. If results suggest infringement, defendants may conduct further testing. Parties might agree on independent lab tests. Additionally, access to technical documentation by an independent expert may be arranged. Remedies discussed include deadlines and access to evidence.
