Our analysis

Summary

By an order of 5 September 2025 (UPC_CFI_551/2025, App_34568/2025), the President of the Court of First Instance, after consulting the panel of the Hamburg Local Division, changed the language of the proceedings from German to English, the language of grant of European patent EP 3 720 095, at the request of the five Renault and Dacia companies sued for infringement by Avago Technologies International Sales. As the claimant did not object, the order expressly adopts the reasoning of an order of 3 July 2025 between the same claimant and three of the defendants.

Question

Should the language of the proceedings be changed to English under Art. 49(5) UPCA where the claimant consents?

Decision

Yes. Nothing distinguished the case from the order of 3 July 2025: English is widely used in the patent’s technical field, the parties are internationally active companies working in English, and the request, made early, is efficient and causes the claimant no unreasonable disadvantage. No translation arrangements were imposed. The order may be appealed within 15 days.

Key points for practice

Practical point: where a language order has already been made between the same parties, the President may refer to it without fresh reasoning.

Provisions applied

Agreement on a Unified Patent Court: Art. 49(1) and (5) and Art. 73(2)(a)
