Security for costs regarding Claimant residing in China (Art. 69 (4) UPCA, R. 158.1 RoP).
The Local Division Mannheim has so far not been able to successfully serve a judicial document in the People's Republic of China (where Claimant resides) in any of the many proceedings pending before it, in particular in any SEP proceedings. It is therefore to be feared that enforcement against assets located there will be all the more difficult.
Only half the requested amount of the upper limit (i.e., € 100.000) is set as security for the second defendant, since it is still unclear to what extent the first defendant will defend itself with a counterclaim for annulment, while a division of the upper limit between the parties […] is to be made.
