UPC CFI, LD Paris, 24 January 2024: Inadmissible standalone revocation action by intervener in the case at hand

Standalone action for revocation by intervener is inadmissible before the present Division in the case at hand (Article 33(3) and (4) UPCA, R. 316A RoP). 

The Court notes that the intervener will still have the possibility of acting independently before the UPC to challenge a patent that is, in his view, invalid, but outside the context of an infringement action pending before the local division seized of an action that is currently at the interim conference stage.
