UPC Confirms Admissibility Of Request To Increase Security For Costs
A Paris division of the Unified Patent Court granted a moderate €100,000 top-up to security for legal costs in a patent infringement case, balancing the defendant's increased defense expenses against the claimant's fundamental right to access justice. The court rejected demands for a much larger security increase, finding that the claimant's status as a micro-enterprise required careful consideration of proportionality principles under EU law.
