LD Milan, July 10, 2026, Order – Alignment Of Defence Deadlines For Co-Defendants Where Service Abroad Is Pending, UPC CFI 1902/2025
A Chinese defendant successfully obtained conditional alignment of procedural deadlines in a patent infringement case before the Milan Local Division, despite the claimant's opposition based on the Hong Kong co-defendant's alleged refusal to accept voluntary service. The Court granted the alignment but required immediate acceptance of service by the unserved defendant as a precondition.
