  UPC Unfiltered – Week 30, 2026: FRAND, PI Necessity and Access to Court Files

  Jul 27, 202624 minS2

  This week, our AI-hosts discuss Prof. Willem Hoyng’s commentary on 11 UPC decisions published on the UPC website. The headline decision is InterDigital v Disney , in which the Düsseldorf Local Division upheld the patent, found infringement and rejected Disney’s FRAND defence. Disney had not established that InterDigital held a dominant position and was, in any event, found to be an unwilling licensee. The Court granted injunctions and other relief, while ordering InterDigital to provide security of €8 million. The episode also covers: • ParTec v Lenovo : a preliminary injunction refused because the applicant failed to establish why interim relief was necessary rather than awaiting the decision on the merits; • Raimund Beck v Baussmann : claim 1 found not novel, while an auxiliary request corresponding to granted claim 2 was found novel and inventive; • Ter Meer v 2Seventy Bio and Dolby v Optoma : contrasting approaches to public access during ongoing proceedings and after proceedings have ended; • LINA v Tonglu Qianyan Medtech : alternative service authorised after Chinese defendants refused to accept the proceedings; • Lionra v Cisco : the Court of Appeal confirmed that the new court-fee reimbursement rules apply to withdrawals made after 1 January 2026; and • KEEEX v Adobe : security for costs increased from €200,000 to €300,000, with the claimant’s SME status taken into account.
