UPC CoA, 4 february 2026: Inadmissible broadening of Saisie Order in appeal
22-03-2026 Print this page
Request to maintain the Saisie Order to the extent outlined in Exhibit A1 is inadmissible (R. 192 RoP, R. 222.2 RoP).
The form in which Centripetal seeks to have the Saisie Order “maintained” […] broadens the scope of the order.
The Saisie Order concerned the preservation of evidence at an office located at Rosenheimer Straße 143c in Munich. In the amended form, however, the scope of the order includes documents that are not available at the location of this office. Centripetal seeks the production of documents irrespective of their location.
In addition, the detailed descriptions that Palo Alto would be required to provide under requests 1 a) aa) and bb) of the amended request cover a broader – or at least a less clearly defined – category of documents than the technical documentation, internal development records and manuals referred to in the original application.
Appellant failed to provide any justification for not submitting the amended request during the first instance proceedings.
