No stay of proceedings (oral hearing at 16 January 2024) because of rapidly expected decision of EPO Opposition Division (17 January 2024) (Art. 33(10) UPCA, R. 295(a) RoP).
It can be expected that the outcome of the opposition proceedings will be available before this Court issues its decision on the merits (even if the Court proceeds as planned with the oral hearing on 16 January 2025). Furthermore, it can reasonably be assumed that the future decision by the EPO Opposition Division will be subject to an appeal.
