International jurisdiction

The international jurisdiction of the Court shall be established in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 or, where applicable, on the basis of the Convention on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (Lugano Convention).

 

Case Law:

 

IPPT20240704, UPC CFI, LD Paris, DexCom v Abbott 
Brussels Ibis applies to UPC irrespective of article 71c as the UPC is a “common court” (Article 71a Brussels Ibis, Article 31 UPCA). 

 

IPPT20240619, UPC CFI, LD The Hague, Abbott v Sibio – EP283

International jurisdiction UPC (Article 31 UPCA). After Sibio c.s.’ defence, Abbott indicated that it did not mean to include Ireland, so there is no need to decide on competence with regard thereto. 

 

IPPT20240619, UPC CFI, LD The Hague, Abbott v Sibio – EP879
International jurisdiction UPC (Article 31 UPCA): competence for Ireland undisputed (Article 26 BR); Court does not understand the application to also involve the UK.
