Deadline extensions RoP are assessed strictly: party consent does not bind the Court where the extension would jeopardise hearing preparation
Notably, the Court considered the expected course of the further proceedings and expected the filing of an application to amend the patent, which will result in three further rounds of written submissions. With the hearing date being set to 11 December 2026, the expected end of the written proceedings will be 26 October 2026. Extending the deadline by two weeks as requested would prolong the written proceedings until 9 November 2026, which the court considers to be too close to the date of the oral hearing.
