Intervention by Mediatek in appeal proceedings between Daedalus and Xiaomi allowed (R. 313 RoP, R, 314 RoP).
MediaTek has a direct and present interest in the result of the appeal proceedings, as the confidential information at issue in the appeal proceedings concerns information relating to the architecture of MediaTek’s processors. Daedalus’ submission that its US attorneys already have access to the confidential information in the context of parallel proceedings in the US does not alter the assessment. This submission may be relevant to the decision on the appeal but does not mean that there is no legal interest for MediaTek to intervene in the appeal proceedings.
Application to intervene admissible, although not made before the closure of the written procedure (R. 313.2 RoP, R. 315 RoP). MediaTek declared that it does not intend to file a statement of intervention under R. 315.1 and R. 315.3 and wishes only to be allowed to participate in the oral hearing to support Xiaomi in their request to dismiss the appeal. Allowing the intervention will therefore not result in any delay of the appeal proceedings.
