The case involves a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Julius Blum GmbH against Arturo Salice S.p.A. regarding a European patent (EP 3 392 438) related to a furniture hinge used in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Slovenia. In response, Arturo Salice S.p.A. filed a counterclaim seeking the invalidation of the same patent claims. The proceedings included preparations for oral hearings, discussions on procedural matters, and the setting of litigation value. A preliminary cost-sharing agreement was also reached. The decision also addressed various procedural matters like the submission of late arguments, use of multimedia during hearings, and translation requirements for the Italian-speaking representatives of the defendants.
