LD Düsseldorf, June 26, 2026, Order, UPC_CFI_1035/2026

A supplier’s potential liability from a defendant’s recourse claim constitutes a “direct and present interest” to intervene in an infringement action under R. 313.1 RoP

This interest was reinforced by the defendant’s own submission, which stated a potential interest in having the intervener bound by the judgment to facilitate future claims.

To ensure efficiency and prevent delay, the court can align an intervener’s deadline for its statement with the defendant’s existing deadline, pursuant to R. 315.1(b) RoP
