About this episode

Eden Winlow discusses the Düsseldorf Local Division's decision to deny Ottobock's request for provisional measures due to lack of urgency and certainty regarding infringement.

Eden Winlow explores the Düsseldorf LD decision to refuse Ottobock’s application for provisional measures concerning EP 3 001 984, finding that neither urgency nor infringement was established with the requisite degree of certainty. The application, filed in December 2025, was dismissed in its entirety, with costs awarded against the applicant.
